The transistor was invented on 1947-12-23 at {Bell Labs}. There are two kinds, the {bipolar transistor} (also called the junction transistor), and the {field effect transistor} (FET). Transistors and other components are interconnected to make complex {integrated circuit}s such as {logic gate}s, {microprocessor}s and memory. (1995-10-05)
