  2. Solid-state electronics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_electronics

    The term solid-state became popular at the beginning of the semiconductor era in the 1960s to distinguish this new technology. A semiconductor device works by controlling an electric current consisting of electrons or holes moving within a solid crystalline piece of semiconducting material such as silicon, while the thermionic vacuum tubes it replaced worked by controlling a current of ...

  3. Solid-state storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_storage

    The minimal chunk size (page) for a read operation is much smaller than the minimal chunk size (block) for a write/erase operation, resulting in an undesirable phenomenon called write amplification that limits the random write performance and write endurance of a flash-based storage device. Some solid-state storage devices use RAM and a battery ...

  4. Solid-state drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_drive

    A solid-state drive (SSD) is a type of solid-state storage device that uses integrated circuits to store data persistently. It is sometimes called semiconductor storage device, solid-state device, or solid-state disk. [1] [2] SSDs rely on non-volatile memory, typically NAND flash, to store data in memory cells. The performance and endurance of ...

  5. Semiconductor device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiconductor_device

    The metal-oxide-semiconductor FET (MOSFET, or MOS transistor), a solid-state device, is by far the most used widely semiconductor device today. It accounts for at least 99.9% of all transistors, and there have been an estimated 13 sextillion MOSFETs manufactured between 1960 and 2018.

  6. Silicon controlled rectifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_controlled_rectifier

    Early solid-state pinball machines made use of these to control lights, solenoids, and other functions electronically, instead of mechanically, hence the name solid-state. Other applications include power switching circuits, controlled rectifiers, speed control of DC shunt motors, SCR crowbars, computer logic circuits, timing circuits, and ...

    Frigid, then mild. After wind chills dipped below zero across the mountains of the Appalachians Friday, conditions are expected to improve through the next couple of days as southwesterly winds ...

  8. Thyristor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyristor

    A thyristor (/ θ aɪ ˈ r ɪ s t ər /, from a combination of Greek language θύρα, meaning "door" or "valve", and transistor [1]) is a solid-state semiconductor device which can be thought of as being a highly robust and switchable diode, allowing the passage of current in one direction but not the other, often under control of a gate electrode, that is used in high power applications ...
