Vacancy-type point defects, i.e., defects where one or several atoms are missing from a lattice site, are often present in rather high concentrations in semiconductors and insulators due to their ...

By varying crystal growth and processing conditions, the effects of crystalline defects and impurities at surfaces, interfaces and in the bulk semiconductor can be investigated and often enhanced or ...

Because the particles can be followed one-by-one, defects can be studied at the particle scale. (Image ... to control the carrier concentration and type (n-type or p-type) in semiconductors. For ...

Semiconductor manufacturers have previously introduced inspection systems for detecting surface defects on glass substrates, but this is the industry's first system capable of inspecting both the ...

Vijay Sontakke, who works at Intel Corporation as a design engineer, has emerged as a key contributor to the field of semiconductor ... in chip testing. Defects can occur in every step of the ...

The Semiconductor Defect Spectroscopy Laboratory at SFU housed instruments to investigate the electronic and structural properties of semiconductor defects. These complementary measurement methods ...

Semiconductor science and technology is the art of defect engineering. The theoretical modeling of defects has improved dramatically over the past decade. These tools are now applied to a wide range ...
