Researchers have demonstrated that by using a semiconductor with flexible bonds, the material can be moulded into various ...

New semiconductor factories in the US could each use as much electricity as a town — will they run on renewable energy? A new report assesses Intel, TSMC, Samsung, and Micron.

A quantum dot is a semiconductor nanostructure that confines the motion of conduction band electrons, valence band holes, or excitons (bound pairs of conduction band electrons and valence band ...

AlGaN strain strategies For AlGaN UV LEDs, which are typically grown on AlN templates, AlGaN strain-modulation strategies aim to mitigate the compressive stress. This can be realised by adjusting the ...

Large semiconductor manufacturers, driven by international clients like Apple, Google, Amazon, and Meta—all members of the RE100 initiative—are scrambling to meet rising green energy requirements.

Definition: Band Gap Engineering is a process used in semiconductor material science to tailor the energy gap between the valence and conduction bands.This manipulation affects how electrons and holes ...

The exploration of strain engineering in both semiconductor manufacturing and 2D materials underscores its critical role in pushing the boundaries of current technology. By harnessing the power of ...
