The Transistor that smashed a frequency barrier<\/strong><\/p>\n

A new transistor invented at Bell Telephone Laboratories can provide broadband, high-frequency amplification never before possible with transistors. The big leap in frequency is made possible by a diffusion process that earlier enabled Laboratories scientists to create the Bell Solar Battery.<\/span><\/p>\n

This transistor is a 3-laver semi-conductor “sandwich.” High-frequency operation is obtained by making the central layer exceedingly thin. This was difficult to do economically by any known method.<\/p>\n

The new diffusion process, however, easily produces microscopic layers of controllable thickness. Thus it opens the way to the broad application of high-frequency transistors for use in telephony, FM, TV, guided missiles, electronic brains and computers.<\/p>\n

The new transistor shows once again how Bell Laboratories creates significant advances and then develops them into ever more useful tools for telephony and the nation.<\/p>\n
