This description was written by a machine and published without a person checking it. It is what the agent made of this grouping, and not a statement anybody has stood behind.

The switch or the curve

A subject the papers are about. The loosest grouping, and the one to reach for last.

A transistor is a switch for proof and a current-voltage curve in silicon. Works that choose between those models and pay for the choice. Membership: commits to how much device physics a correctness argument admits.
