The result is that three Japanese companies (Fujitsu, Hitachi, and NEC) now claim to offer equivalent computers that are faster than IBM's.
To our knowledge these are the first In(GaAl)As hot electron transistors to exhibit 300 K gain of this magnitude.
These photographs confirm that a series of programmable electronic computers was built in Britain during the Second World War, the first being operational in 1943.
Experience with computers increased with academic level, suggesting that academics currently use, and have been using, computers throughout their careers.
These are the first bottom gate thin film transistors using a nc-Si channel with a higher field effect mobility than found in hydrogenated amorphous silicon devices.

For the first time, we demonstrate flexible transistors formed directly on fibers.
To our knowledge these are the highest performance transistors and the fastest circuits ever fabricated directly on plastic
This is the first time that planar MESFET transistors utilizing a polymer semiconductor have been fabricated and measured.
The data also suggest that computer productivity peaked around 1986/1987,3 that computers are complementary with skilled labour (Krueger 1993 and Autor, Katz and Krueger 1997), and that use of computers may permit reductions in inventory levels.
To the best of our knowledge, these are the most radiation-hard thin film transistors reported to date.
The presented architecture will be the first step to realize the next generation “normally-off computers.”
We believe these are the fastest transistors of their kind in the world.
So improving the performance and boosting the density of these transistors is the most straightforward way to make microprocessors — and the computers they power — work better.
It is concluded that transistors of the types at present available are well suited to computer circuits and that both the construction and maintenance of the apparatus are facilitated by their use.
