The first step of
making a thread-based
transistor is to coat a linen thread with nanotubes. The coating creates a semiconductor surface through which electrons can travel. Attached to the thread are two thin gold wires \u2013 a \u201csource\u201d of electrons and a \u201cdrain\u201d where the electrons flow in and out.

The process itself was quite similar to producing transistors). However, It is very unlikely that you'll ever be able to make a transistor in your kitchen that even comes close to modern mass produced transistors. You wouldn't even come close to what has been produced in the 70th.May 21, 2015

Most transistors are made from very pure silicon, and some from germanium, but certain other semiconductor materials are sometimes used. A transistor may have only one kind of charge carrier, in a field-effect transistor, or may have two kinds of charge carriers in bipolar junction transistor devices.
