[Zachary Tong] is dipping his toes into the DIY semiconductor world, and further to the goal of keeping costs to a hobbyist scale, is experimenting with laser doping of silicon. Doping is the ...

A recent article in Nature Communications introduced a method for precise p- and n-type substitutional doping of two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors. This method was applied for the one-step ...

Doping refers to the intentional introduction of impurities into a semiconductor to modify its ... polymers to create a phosphorus δ-layer in silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrates.

which are themselves semiconductors) interspersed throughout the silicon crystal lattice in a process called "doping." The choice of dopant determines what properties the finished semiconductor ...

(Nanowerk News) Professor Jiwoong Yang and his research team at the Department of Energy Science and Engineering, Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science & Technology (DGIST; President Kunwoo Lee) ...

N-type silicon is silicon that has been chemically combined (doped) with phosphorus gas to make it conductive. A silicon atom has four electrons in its outer shell and bonds tightly with four ...

Semiconductors made this way have details that are single-digit numbers of nanometers wide. Transistors made from "stripes" of differently doped silicon next to one another are known as ...

semiconductors like silicon and germanium host very few charge carriers. However, the introduction of minute quantities of certain impurities, through a process called doping, can alter the number of ...

Silicon has had a long run as the king of semiconductors, and why not? It’s plentiful and works well. However, working well and working ideally are two different things. In particular ...
