A study revealed that a simple thermal reaction of gallium nitride with metallic magnesium results in the formation of a distinctive superlattice structure. This represents the first time researchers ...

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 ...

Over on ScienceDaily we learn that an international team of scientists have turned a common semiconductor germanium into a superconductor. Researchers have been able to make the semiconductor ...

RALEIGH – Researchers from North Carolina State University used computational analysis to predict how optical properties of semiconductor material zinc selenide (ZnSe) change when doped with halogen ...

Semiconductor physics has been focusing on doping for a long time, and we have developed over the years the "modern theory of Doping" [Alex Zunger and Oleksandr I. Malyi, "Understanding Doping of ...

Major processes in semiconductor wafer fabrication: 1) wafer preparation, 2) pattern transfer, 3) doping, 4) deposition, 5) etching, and 6) packaging. The process of creating semiconductors can be ...

Semiconductors have a rare ability to act like both conductors and insulators, depending on how they’re used. This video ...

Semiconductors are the foundation of all modern electronics. Now, researchers have developed a new method where organic semiconductors can become more conductive with the help of air as a dopant. The ...

(Nanowerk News) Substitutional doping from foreign elements stands out as a preferred method for precisely tailoring the electronic band structure, conduction type, and carrier concentration of ...

Thermal treating of metallic magneiusm on gallium nitride semiconductor results in the formation of a distinctive superlattice structure. Magnesium, nitrogen, gallium atoms are shown in orange, blue, ...
