When a semiconductor includes both N-type and P-type materials, it is called a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS, pronounced "sea-moss"). Many semiconductors start their lives as ...

P- and N-type semiconductors are made with different ... Use your circuit to test how well other methods and materials conduct electricity. If possible, attach an oscilloscope to your circuit ...

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 ...

Cornell scientists have developed a novel technique to transform symmetrical semiconductor particles into intricately twisted, spiral structures—or "chiral" materials—producing films with ...

According to researchers, this material is a superior semiconductor and, possibly, the best possible semiconductor. Unfortunately, the material isn’t nearly as common as silicon. Labs have ...

The work, from researchers in the UB Center for Advanced Semiconductor Technologies, could lead to energy-efficient ...

The manipulation of mechanical strain in materials, also known as ... we are working on extending this approach to p-type 2D transistors (as opposed to the n-type devices used in this study ...

Scientists at the University of Twente have developed a way to create highly ordered semiconductor material at room temperature. This UT research was published today in Nature Synthesis.
