Quantum dots are microscopic semiconductor crystals developed in the lab that share many properties with atoms, including the ability to absorb or emit light, a technology that Los Alamos researchers ...

Researchers from Kyoto Institute of Technology are claiming to have broken new ground by demonstrating the first vertical ...

A popular 2D active material, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), just got a platinum upgrade at an atomic level. A study led by ...

[ProjectsInFlight] has been on a mission to make his own semiconductors for about a year now, and recently shared a major step toward that goal: homemade spin-on dopants. Doping semiconductors has … ...

Semiconductors are at the heart of most electronics, but have you ever wondered how one works? In this article, we explain what semiconductors are; how they work, with an eye to N-type vs. P-type ...

Adding donor atoms (n-type doping) increases the number of free electrons, while adding acceptor atoms (p-type doping) creates “holes” that act as positive charge carriers.

In the previous issue, we reconstructed the doping of a silicon sample in software by adding phosphorus atoms. In this tutorial, we will study an algorithm that can be implemented on a C.A.S.

In the field of GaN semiconductors, Mg is the only known element to create p-type conductivity up to now. Despite 35 years since the first success of doping Mg into GaN, the full mechanisms of Mg ...

This study delves into the charge transfer mechanism of boron (B)-doped 3C-SiC through first-principles investigations. We explore the effects of B doping on the electronic properties of 3C-SiC, ...

How Is An N-Type Semiconductor Created? An n-type semiconductor is created through doping, where a carefully controlled amount of impurity atoms are introduced into a pure semiconductor crystal.

Doping in semiconductors is adding a small amount of impurities into a very pure semiconductor material. ... four of their valence electrons form bonds with the surrounding silicon atoms.
