Doping silicon with lasers is pushing the boundaries of electronics, enabling faster, more efficient chips that could change ...

Silicon, as the backbone of modern electronics, has long been limited by its indirect bandgap and equilibrium solubility limits for dopants. To extend its photoresponse into the short‐ and ...

Engineers from the University of South Carolina are claiming to have broken the record for the forward current in Schottky ...

As traditional chip miniaturization slows, researchers have found a way to pack more computing power into the same space by stacking silicon circuits in multiple layers. The new process uses ...

Shrinking silicon transistors have reached their physical limits, but a team from the University of Tokyo is rewriting the rules. They've created a cutting-edge transistor using gallium-doped indium ...

An international research group has developed a novel technique enabling the creation of contacts at low temperatures. The novel contact types are reportedly able to enhance cell efficiency by up to 3 ...

Use left and right arrow keys to seek audio. For roughly six decades, the semiconductor industry has followed a simple and reliable formula: make transistors smaller, pack more of them onto a chip, ...

Researchers at Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems in Germany developed a predictive model for light and elevated temperature induced degradation in gallium-doped silicon wafer that includes ...

Doping in semiconductors is adding a small amount of impurities into a very pure semiconductor material. It might sound strange to add impurities on purpose, but this is a critical to make ...
