text: Having unearthed Lilienfeld's patents that went into obscurity years earlier, lawyers at Bell Labs advised against Shockley's proposal because the idea of a field-effect transistor that used an electric field as a "grid" was not new.
text: The field-effect transistor (FET) is a type of transistor which uses an electric field to control the flow of current.
text: The Field Effect Transistor, FET, is a three terminal active device that uses an electric field to control the current flow and it has a high input impedance which is useful in many circuits.
