After dominating the electronics industry for decades, conventional silicon-based transistors are gradually approaching their ...

A group of Korean researchers have recently succeeded in developing new p-type semiconductor materials and thin-film ...

The fundamental assumptions of the LEC model are that the semiconductor can be electrochemically doped n-type (reduced) or p-type (oxidized), and that the doped (n-type or p-type) semiconductor is ...

Most of them involve semiconductor p-n junctions, in which a p-type doped region and an n-type doped region are brought into contact. Such a junction actually forms an electrical diode. This is why it ...

A solar cell is made of two types of semiconductors, called p-type and n-type silicon. The p-type silicon is produced by adding atoms—such as boron or gallium—that have one less electron in their ...

A PIN diode is typically used as a switch or attenuator element. PIN diodes have an intrinsic semiconductor sandwiched between p-type and n-type semiconductor layers. A PIN diode is a semiconductor ...

Instead of being a sandwich, MOSFETs have a channel of either N- or P- type semiconductor running through a ridge on top of the other type. As a voltage is applied to this channel, it creates an ...
