What did Kroemer's research in transistors help advance?

  • Solar Panel Technology

  • Quantum Computing

  • Mobile Phone Technologies

  • Artificial Intelligence

Answer

The mobile phone technology we rely on today owes its existence to the pioneering research of Herbert Kroemer in transistors. His investigations into the behavior of electrons in semiconductor devices, particularly the development of the heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) and the modulation-doped field-effect transistor (MODFET), laid the foundation for miniaturization, improved efficiency, and enhanced performance in electronic devices.
