Semiconductors are at the heart of most electronics. We explain what semiconductors are, how they work, and just how tiny those transistors can get.

How Is A P-Type Semiconductor Created? A p-type semiconductor is created through doping, where a carefully controlled amount of impurity atoms are introduced into a pure semiconductor crystal.

In a first for the field, researchers from The Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign ...

The carrier concentration and conductivity in p-type monovalent copper semiconductors can be significantly enhanced by adding alkali metal impurities, as shown recently by Tokyo Tech researchers ...

Abstract: “High-performance p -type two-dimensional (2D) transistors are fundamental for 2D nanoelectronics. However, the lack of a reliable method for creating high-quality, large-scale p -type 2D ...

N-type semiconductors have mobile electrons; p-type semiconductors have mobile "holes." It turns the whole system into an electrical turnstile, forcing electrons to move in one direction.

The carrier concentration and conductivity in p-type monovalent copper semiconductors can be significantly enhanced by adding alkali metal impurities. Doping with isovalent and larger-sized alkali ...

N-type semiconductors can be used in certain LED designs with p-type regions to facilitate the recombination of electrons and holes, leading to light emission.

Researchers show that the carrier concentration and conductivity in p-type monovalent copper semiconductors can be significantly enhanced by adding alkali metal impurities.
