Semiconductors or integrated circuits are microelectronic devices made mostly of silicon or germanium. These chips, though tiny, comprise thousands of different components that work together to ...

Semiconductors are used in devices such as memory chips and solar cells, and within them may exist invisible defects that ...

Capacitance-voltage (C-V) testing is widely used to determine semiconductor parameters, particularly in MOSCAP and MOSFET structures. However, other types of semiconductor devices and technologies ...

The carrier concentration and conductivity in p-type monovalent copper semiconductors can be significantly enhanced by adding alkali metal impurities. Doping with isovalent and larger-sized alkali ...

A gold sphere levitates over a semiconductor with an electrical bias. In new research, engineers at the University of California, Davis, have shown that biased semiconductors can control the Casimir ...

Perovskite solar cells have been the subject of much research as the next generation of photovoltaic devices. However, many challenges remain to be overcome for the practical application. One of them ...
