It took ages from the theoretical invention of the MOS transistor to us being able to grow practically good enough oxides (which aren't riddled with interface traps)...
- stavros 3y agoImagine how long it would have taken if silicon wasn't this ideal.
- kken 3y agoMore like a decade, unless you refer to the Lilienfeld devices.
- eternauta3k 3y agoYes, I was thinking of Lilienfeld. What starting point are you taking?
- kken 3y agoBell labs tried to build a FET before the bipolar transistor. It's not so clear which theory the Lilienfeld devices are based on.
