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 ...

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 ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

[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 ...

Scanning microwave microscopy (SMM) is a scanning probe method that uses the S11 parameter to calculate the local tip-sample microwave impedance. This impedance is affected by the sample’s local ...
