There exist a huge number of exotic semiconductor materials, almost as many as there are material science projects using them. Still, modern manufacturing is dominated by two basic types of ...

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 ...

The diagram illustrates the basic design of an NPN junction transistor. Two slices of N-type semiconductor, the emitter and the collector, form a sandwich with a layer of P-type semiconductor ...

Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) technology is a vital part of modern electronics, used in designing and manufacturing integrated circuits (ICs) that power many digital devices. CMOS ...
