Abstract:
This report describes about the increase of technology in the field
of transistors, and the present situation of transistor technology
and future technology of simplified transistor. The discussion then
focuses on SINGLE ELECTRON TRANSISTOR (SET) and its
operation and effects in the operation of SET and its advantages
over coming decade.

1. Introduction:
The purpose of this report is to describe the various generations of technology using transistors
and future transistors.
In the first generation of computers vacuum tubes are used which makes the size of the computer
immense such that it can be fit in more than 2 to 3 rooms. Later after the invention of transistor
by WILLIAM SHOCKLEY, WALTER HOUSER BRATTAIN, JOHN BARDEEN on December 23
1947 lead to a revolution in the size and performance of the computers and many electronic
devices. After the various generations of computer, the size of the computer was minimized to fit
on a table and the performance is very fast compared to vacuum tube computer. The main
reason for the performance of the computer is based on logic gates. Logic gates are mainly build
up with transistor where transistor is used as switching device. So indirectly the performance of
the computer is based on switching of transistor. If the switching of transistor is fast then the
performance of the computer is said to be fast.

To understand the circuit of SET we have to analyze the circuit and basic operation of MOSFET.
