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" ...

In the past few years, the research effort on 2D materials has rapidly increased, driven by the great variety of layered materials and their exceptional properties when reduced to a few atomic layers ...

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 ...

This course presents in-depth discussion and analysis of pn junction and metal-semiconductor contacts including equilibrium behavior, current and capacitance responses under bias, breakdown, ...

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 ...

Researchers recently observed negative refraction of electrons in graphene PN junctions. The creation of PN junctions in graphene is quite interesting, itself. Negative refraction isn’t a new idea. It ...

A recent study published in Light: Science & Applications introduced a new method for determining the PN junction depth in a silicon wafer. This technique works at nanometer-scale resolution and is ...

a, Schematic illustration of the buried channel transistor structure. b, THz emission from the PN junction. Ultrafast photocarrier transport due to the built-in electric field (drift current) ...
