1. Lecture K No lectures on Thursdays anymore! Yeah! Mid-term in ~3 weeks. Covers all materials we covered up that date (lectures and labs) Start thinking about your final projects! (Proposal due in 5 weeks)

2. Our Trusty LF356 contains about a dozen transistors (BJTs and FETs)

3. Modern CPUs and GPUs contain well over 1 billion transistors. Some memory chips even several 10 billions (mostly FETs)! (Sorry. No circuit diagram for this one…)

4. Moore’s Law Curve shows ‘Moore’s Law’: Transistor count doubling every two years

6. Analogy of current in n and p-doped semiconductors Energy Momentum n-doped p-doped un-doped (“intrinsic”) Electrons carry the current. “Holes” carry the current. Traffic jam! Current cannot flow.
