A new growth cycle is expected to continue over the next three to four years, driven by demand in servers, automotive, ...

Researchers at the University of Twente have solved a long-standing problem: trapping optically-generated sound waves in a standard silicon photonic chip. This discovery, published as a featured ...

Chipmakers turn to silicon for its crystal structure, which can be lightly salted with trivalent or pentavalent ions to produce semiconductor materials with subtly different behavior on a quantum ...

To improve the efficiency—and power—of these devices, scientists are searching for alternative materials to replace standard silicon-based semiconductors. "Our work investigates how emerging ...

Transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are a class of material that’s been receiving significant attention as a possible successor of silicon. Recently, a team of researchers has demonstrated ...

Silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductors are just such a technology, and have already begun to revolutionise the industry. A graph showing the relationship between band gap and temperature for various ...
