CEA-Leti research scientists have demonstrated that electrons and other charge carriers can move faster in germanium tin than in silicon or germanium, enabling lower operation voltages and smaller footprints in vertical than in planar devices.
The reliability and endurance of contemporary devices have been significantly impacted by the need to reduce the size of semiconductors and the issue of heat generated in hot spots of the devices not being efficiently distributed.
Researchers from the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science and collaborators have succeeded in creating a "superlattice" of semiconductor quantum dots that can behave like a metal, potentially imparting exciting new properties to this popular class of materials.
Analog Devices, Inc., a global semiconductor leader, today announced a new €630 million investment at its European regional headquarters in the Raheen Business Park in Limerick, Ireland.
Mitsui Mining and Smelting Co., Ltd and GEOMATEC Co., Ltd have been working together to establish a mass production system for the commercialization of HRDP®,1 a specialty carrier for next-generation semiconductor packaging.
Magnesium diboride (MgB2), a low-cost, non-toxic superconductor, is employed in electric motors, field magnets, and generators. Nevertheless, it is expensive to make nanoscale boron (B) particles to fabricate MgB2.
SUNY Polytechnic Institute (SUNY Poly) and Oxford Instruments Plasma Technology announced SUNY Poly’s purchase of a new tool that will enable various types of plasma processing, a process used to engineer material ...
Researchers at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have discovered a way to trigger cooperative behavior often found in viruses in organic semiconductors.
With a new microscopy technique that uses blue light to measure electrons in semiconductors and other nanoscale materials, a team of Brown University researchers is opening a new realm of possibilities in the study of these critical components, which can help power devices like mobile phones and laptops.
