It's no exaggeration to say that silicon semiconductors changed the world. Within a human lifetime we've gone from ENIAC to the very first transistor radios to cell phones and space telescopes.

The cold, solid substance that makes the transistor possible is the semiconductor, a class of material that includes silicon and germanium ... of semiconductor. The diagram illustrates the ...

Silicon has had a long run as the king of semiconductors, and why not? It’s plentiful and works well. However, working well and working ideally are two different things. In particular ...

A semiconductor is a material or device that only conducts electricity under certain conditions. Some elements in the periodic table, such as carbon, silicon, and germanium, are intrinsic ...

Our work investigates how emerging 2D materials can be integrated with existing silicon technology to enhance functionality and improve performance, paving the way for energy-efficient nanoelectronics ...
