tran·sis·tor (tr n-z s t r) noun 1) A small electronic device containing a semiconductor and having at least three electrical contacts, used in a circuit as an amplifier, detector, or switch.
Digital Logic: Power Source If A and B transistors are Active: the circuit can complete. n What makes the transistors “Active? ” n C D A B Output

Circuit Designs are Converted by Integration Software n n Software that draws out all of the transistors as they would look like in real life. With all the same arrangements and connections. Software integrates the layers of materials needed to make all the transistors in the circuit.
When I have the Integrated Design I go to work: n I Build and carve the layers that make the transistors.
Final Products: Networked Transistors
