Is it possible to use two transistors back to back "leg PN leg leg NP leg" to make a transistor? I can't do too much reasearch right now because I'm on a cruise ship and the internet is expensive. I had the idea a few days ago and its killing me.
I started with the idea of building a TTL computer. Once I complete that I wanted to design the same computer out of transistors. I'm thinking about skipping transistors and going with diodes!
Another question is can LEDs be used? How would you determine the speed that the hacked together transistor could operate at? I would love to have a computer built out of LED silicon. :)
Would there be any benefit with using diodes over transistors? I want to build the computer with the earliest technology available while ignoring relays and tubes.
Love to hear your ideas!
Thanks, Grant
