    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transistor_computer

    A transistor computer, now often called a second-generation computer, [1] is a computer which uses discrete transistors instead of vacuum tubes. The first generation of electronic computers used vacuum tubes, which generated large amounts of heat, were bulky and unreliable.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_transistorized...

    TRADIC. This is a list of transistorized computers, which were digital computers that used discrete transistors as their primary logic elements. Discrete transistors were a feature of logic design for computers from about 1960, when reliable transistors became economically available, until monolithic integrated circuits displaced them in the 1970s.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transistor

    The MOSFET is by far the most widely used transistor, in applications ranging from computers and electronics [82] to communications technology such as smartphones. [83] It has been considered the most important transistor, [ 84 ] possibly the most important invention in electronics, [ 85 ] and the device that enabled modern electronics. [ 86 ]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_transistor

    The world's first transistor computer was built at the University of Manchester in November 1953. The computer was built by Richard Grimsdale, then a research student in the Department of Electrical Engineering and later a professor of Electronic Engineering at Sussex University. The machine used point-contact transistors, made in small ...

    The 1965 IBM System/360 mainframe computer family are sometimes called third-generation computers; however, their logic consisted primarily of SLT hybrid circuits, which contained discrete transistors and diodes interconnected on a substrate with printed wires and printed passive components; the S/360 M85 and M91 did use ICs for some of their ...

    Nanowire transistors could spur the creation of microscopic computers. [ 79 ] [ 80 ] [ 81 ] In 2012, a research team at the University of New South Wales announced the development of the first working transistor consisting of a single atom placed precisely in a silicon crystal (not just picked from a large sample of random transistors). [ 82 ]
