Abstract: Presents a landmark volume documenting 100 years of field-effect transistor innovation and applications. 
The invention of the field-effect transistor (FET) in 1925 transformed the trajectory of modern civilization, enabling virtually every electronic device in existence today. From the earliest integrated circuits to the most advanced computers and smartphones, the FET has served as the indispensable foundation of contemporary information technology. The FET Centennial: Celebrating the Field-Effect Transistor commemorates this milestone by gathering a distinguished group of contributors to provide a comprehensive account of the device’s history, global development, diverse applications, and potential future directions.
