What Are Transistors and How Do They Work in Memory?
Transistors are semiconductor devices used to amplify or switch electronic signals. In the context of memory, transistors act as storage cells, where each cell can hold a bit of information, typically represented as a 0 or 1. The most common type of transistor used in memory technology is the MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor). By applying a voltage to the gate terminal, the conductivity of the channel can be controlled, thus storing a bit of data.
