Hidden semiconductor defects often pass inspection but fail later in operation. Learn how latent defects form, evade ...

Semiconductor nanoparticles typically consist of a crystalline core made from a semiconductor material, such as cadmium selenide (CdSe), cadmium sulfide (CdS), or indium phosphide (InP). The core is ...

A defect in a semiconductor chip may be smaller than a human hair but can create big problems in your everyday life, from crippling your car's steering to making your laptop more susceptible to ...

Across the semiconductor industry, ensuring cleanrooms and mini-environments are sufficiently monitored for particle sizes down to 100 nm is a common practice. Most industries have adopted this ...

Defect states refer to electronic energy levels that arise from imperfections or irregularities in the crystal structure of materials, particularly in semiconductors and insulators. These ...

In the quest to design more efficient solar cells and light-emitting diodes (LEDs), a team of engineers has analyzed different types of defects in the semiconductor material that enables such devices ...

Researchers have discovered a novel way to manipulate defects in semiconductors. The study holds promising opportunities for novel forms of precision sensing, or the transfer of quantum information ...

Modern advanced packaging processes and shrinking semiconductor device sizes mean that it is vital to consistently eliminate sub-20 nm defects and surface contaminants. To do this effectively, the ...

In diamonds (and other semiconducting materials), defects are a quantum sensor's best friend. That's because defects, essentially a jostled arrangement of atoms, sometimes contain electrons with an ...

The Nanomedicine and Nanotoxicology Group (GNano) at the University of São Paulo's São Carlos Institute of Physics (IFSC-USP) ...

Next-generation imaging technology is rapidly expanding beyond smartphones into intelligent devices, robotics, extended ...

Cornell researchers have used high-resolution 3D imaging to detect, for the first time, the atomic-scale defects in computer chips that can sabotage their performance. “Since there’s really no other ...
