During an email interview, Atomera founder and CTO Robert Mears discussed how dopant diffusion affects chipmaking and options for delving into the dopant diffusion process to accomplish ...

Optical fibers are made of glass with different refractive indices in the (inner) core and the (outer) cladding regions. The difference in refractive indices arises due to a rapid transition in the ...

Researchers have obtained the first direct observations of atomic diffusion inside a bulk material. The research could be used to give unprecedented insight into the lifespan and properties of new ...

Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) sub-strates are considered among the most promising materials for the continued production of faster ICs with low power consumption. From the device-scaling road map, the ...

LONDON Innos is to work with the University of Southampton to research novel methods of dopant diffusion suppression in semiconductors. The joint research follows the award of a five-year research ...

Scaling device dimensions down to the molecular regime presents fundamental and technological challenges for fabricating well-defined structures with controlled atomic composition 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9.

[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 ...

Doping in semiconductors is adding a small amount of impurities into a very pure semiconductor material. It might sound strange to add impurities on purpose, but this is a critical to make ...

A p-n junction is an interface or boundary between p-type and n-type semiconductor materials within a single semiconductor crystal. The positive (p) side contains excess holes, while the negative (n) ...
