About this product
Product Information
The metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) transistor is the fundamental element of digital electronics. The tens of millions of transistors in a typical home--in personal computers, automobiles, appliances, and toys--are almost all derive from MOS transistors. To the Digital Age examines for the first time the history of this remarkable device, which ......
