It’s not as though you create complex transistor circuits in the way your 1960s equivalent would have done, ... 1LSB is equivalent to about a 3% of change in diode current.

Atomtronic Circuits of Diodes and Transistors in Physic Review Letters. From Physorg: Atomtronics probably won’t replace electronics. “Atoms are sluggish compared to electrons, and that means that you ...

When the integrated circuit was invented in 1958, it eclipsed the four-layer diode's capabilities and any market for the diode quickly dried up. Four-layered semiconductors are, however, used today.

If the transistor has an active partner to take over reverse-conduction, then reducing dead-time, when the transistor has to reverse-conduct, will help maintain efficiency, pointed out Infineon, and ...
