Currently, they can be made to be around 10 &#8211; 20nm in size.<\/p><p>Transistors consist of two electrodes and one control wire.<\/p><p>When an input current is sent to a transistor through the control wire, the centre becomes conductive. This allows a separate current to flow between the electrodes and produce an output.<\/p><p>With transistor inputs and outputs, the presence of a current is represented by a \u20181\u2019. The absence of a current is represented by a \u20180\u2019.<\/p><p>The term semiconductor refers to the function of a transistor.

Otherwise, the output is 0.<\/p><p><strong>OR Gate:<\/strong><\/p><p>The output is 1 when either or both of the inputs are 1.
