STMicroelectronics is among the world's leading suppliers of transistors, with one of the industry's most extensive portfolios. The transistor is a solid state semiconductor device that can be used for amplification, switching, voltage stabilization, signal modulation and several other functions. It acts as a variable valve that, based on its input voltage, controls the current it draws from a connected voltage source. Transistors are divided into two main categories: bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) and field effect transistors (FETs).
Company Details
STMicroelectronics was created in 1987 by the merger of SGS Microelettronica of Italy and Thomson Semiconducteurs of France with the aim of becoming a world leader in the sub-micron era. The new company pursued an aggressive growth strategy,... more
