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 ...

Researchers use freezing technology to find how micro-sized particles cause defects in the chip-making process and design ...

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 ...

AUSTIN, Texas—Devices made from plastic semiconductors, like solar cells and light-emitting diodes (LEDs), could be improved based on information gained using a new nanoparticle technique developed at ...

Researchers have developed an imaging technique that uses a tiny, super sharp needle to nudge a single nanoparticle into different orientations and capture 2-D images to help reconstruct a 3-D picture ...

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 ...

Nanotechnology is involved in such a range of ground-breaking tech, thanks in part to the multitude of different nanoparticles available. Nanoparticles are defined as structures of matter measuring ...
