The interface at which p-type silicon and n-type silicon make contact with each other. At this coupling point, free electrons (n-type) and holes (p-type) cancel each other and form a "depletion zone" ...

Formed at the boundary between an N-type and P-type semiconductor is a P-N Junction which is created by doping a single crystal of semiconductor. The nature of the P-N junction is one of the crucial ...

For the standard junction diode, there are two operating regions and three possible biasing conditions. There is no external potential energy applied to the P-N junction when a diode is connected in a ...

In conventional organic solar cells, the electrons exhibit their particle-nature and need to jump between organic molecules in the cell. The conductivity is, therefore, lower than that of crystalline ...

Physicists in the US are the first to have created a locally-gated p-n junction in graphene, which is a 2D sheet of carbon just one atom thick. The charge density in the device is controlled by ...

Si LSI manufacturing technology is essential as the foundation of modern society. However, there was no wafer-scale technology for rapid, non-destructive, and non-contact evaluation of the internal ...

The feature size of silicon-based transistors is approaching the theoretical limit, which puts forward higher requirements for the “atomic level manufacturing” of semiconductors. The basic idea of ...

In this online engineering specialization, you will master the fundamentals of semiconductors and evaluate the performance of electronic devices by completing courses in semiconductor physics, PN ...

A new terahertz technique reveals nanometer-scale PN junction depths in silicon chips, enabling faster, non-contact inspection for advanced semiconductor manufacturing. (Nanowerk News) Silicon ...
