Am I correct to believe that a nuvistor would be more resilient versus transients from surges such as static, nearby/indirect lightning strikes, and other emp sources? Do nuvistors 'age' like tubes o

I stand corrected! :-) Rephrased: I was taught that germanium transistors 'aged', and that old tubes could develop base leaks - both happening even when on the shelf - plus traditional glass tubes su

Doc, As Jim Brown said, Nuvistors are tubes, and as such, would withstand certain transient events better than some solid state devices, but maybe not as well as "regular" tubes. That's because of si

Transistors age because the impurities migrate, and the doped areas and junctions eventually blur, due to entropy. Migration is much more pronounced in Ge than Si, so you can see aging happening yea
