Ultrawide-bandgap semiconductors—such as diamond—are promising for next-generation electronics due to a larger energy gap between the valence and conduction bands, allowing them to handle higher ...

The work by researchers in the Center for Advanced Semiconductor Technologies could lead to energy-efficient microelectronics ...

The term "gate" in semiconductors refers to transistors. Silicon: Silicon is a crystalline solid that is hard and brittle, and is considered metalloid, meaning it has some, but not all 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 ...

Confidence in the semiconductor industry’s ability to meet demand is being hindered by geopolitical tensions, international trade restrictions and the push for sovereignty, according to a report ...

The vice president was also there to honor Silicon Valley-based company Applied Materials, which announced on May 22 that it will invest $4 billion in a massive new semiconductor research and ...

To improve the efficiency — and power — of these devices, scientists are searching for alternative materials to replace standard silicon-based semiconductors. A University at Buffalo-led study, ...
