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 ...

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" ...

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, ...

What is a P-N Junction? A p-n junction is a fundamental building block of modern electronics, formed by joining together two types of semiconductor materials: p-type (positive) and n-type (negative).

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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
