Until recently, most studies on subgap states focused on amorphous IGZO, as sufficiently large single-crystal IGZO (sc-IGZO) ...

These properties make diamond perhaps the ultimate theoretical power semiconductor, ideal for ultra-high-power, ...

There are fundamentally two ways to generate electricity. The first is based on electromagnetic induction, which remains the ...

For decades, we heard silicon was the only answer. However, while the world’s largest fabs were busy taping out silicon, the communities of engineers and scientists working on non-silicon technologies ...

In the rapidly evolving field of quantum computing, silicon spin qubits are emerging as a leading candidate for building scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computers. A new review titled "Single ...

Silicon Valley has been a universal symbol of innovation for decades. Because of its reputation, governments around the world have tried to foster their own versions by investing heavily in tech ...

In this paper, based on the first principles, we study the properties of silicon carbide nanowires (SiCNWs) passivated by monovalent hydrogen (H), heptavalent fluorine (F) and chlorine (Cl) atoms at ...

Researchers in the Netherlands have investigated how carrier-selective contacts may help achieve stronger performance in back-contact (BC) crystalline silicon solar cells and have predicted ...

REC Silicon runs a second plant in Butte, Mont. It shut down polysilicon production there in February 2024, but is still making silane gas at the facility. Group14, in the meantime, is pursuing ...

Semiconductor Doping The addition of an atom with fewer valence electrons than silicon, such as boron, creates holes, electrons that are missing in the valence band. This is called p-type doping. The ...

Photon Momentum Enabled Light Absorption in Silicon. ACS Nano, 2024; 18 (39): 26532 DOI: 10.1021/acsnano.4c02656 ...

Electronic materials are designed for properties like conduction, insulation, magnetism, and energy storage, forming the foundation of nearly all modern technologies across electronics, energy, and ...
