A compound semiconductor is a semiconductor compound composed of chemical elements of at least two different species. These semiconductors form for example in periodic table groups 13–15 (old groups III–V), for example of elements from the Boron group (old group III, boron, aluminium, gallium, indium) and from group 15 (old group V, nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, bismuth).
CuGaO 2 exists in two main polymorphs, α and β.The α form has the delafossite crystal structure and can be prepared by reacting Cu 2 O with Ga 2 O 3 at high temperatures. The β form has a wurtzite-like crystal structure (space group Pna2 1); it is metastable, but exhibits a long-term stability at temperatures below 300 °C. [3]
Molecular electronics [6] is a technology under development brings hope for future atomic-scale electronic systems. A promising application of molecular electronics was proposed by the IBM researcher Ari Aviram and the theoretical chemist Mark Ratner in their 1974 and 1988 papers Molecules for Memory, Logic and Amplification (see unimolecular ...
Doping of a pure silicon array. Silicon based intrinsic semiconductor becomes extrinsic when impurities such as boron and antimony are introduced.. In semiconductor production, doping is the intentional introduction of impurities into an intrinsic (undoped) semiconductor for the purpose of modulating its electrical, optical and structural properties.
A semiconductor device is an electronic component that relies on the electronic properties of a semiconductor material (primarily silicon, germanium, and gallium arsenide, as well as organic semiconductors) for its function. Its conductivity lies between conductors and insulators. Semiconductor devices have replaced vacuum tubes in
The term solid-state became popular at the beginning of the semiconductor era in the 1960s to distinguish this new technology. A semiconductor device works by controlling an electric current consisting of electrons or holes moving within a solid crystalline piece of semiconducting material such as silicon, while the thermionic vacuum tubes it replaced worked by controlling a current of ...
LM393 differential comparator manufactured by National Semiconductor. The following is a list of LM-series integrated circuits.Many were among the first analog integrated circuits commercially produced since late 1965; [1] some were groundbreaking innovations [opinion].
II-VI semiconductor compounds are produced with epitaxy methods, like most semiconductor compounds. [2] The substrate plays an important role for all fabrication methods. Best growth results are obtained by substrates made from the same compound ( homoepitaxy ), but substrates of other semiconductors are often used to reduce the fabrication ...
