P-type semiconductors use dopants that act as electron acceptors. Boron fits into the crystal lattice just like silicon atoms, but since boron has only three electrons to use, a kind of hole is ...

The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS, President Ho Seong Lee) has successfully developed a high-quality compound semiconductor material for ultra-sensitive SWIR sensors.

To improve the durability of tin perovskite, a method called Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) has been proposed that introduces large ...
