A group of Korean researchers have recently succeeded in developing new p-type semiconductor materials and thin-film ...

The fundamental assumptions of the LEC model are that the semiconductor can be electrochemically doped n-type (reduced) or p-type (oxidized), and that the doped (n-type or p-type) semiconductor is ...

Most of them involve semiconductor p-n junctions, in which a p-type doped region and an n-type doped region are brought into contact. Such a junction actually forms an electrical diode. This is why it ...

Two slices of N-type semiconductor, the emitter and the collector, form a sandwich with a layer of P-type semiconductor, called the base. P- and N-type semiconductors are made with different ...

A solar cell is made of two types of semiconductors, called p-type and n-type silicon. The p-type silicon is produced by adding atoms—such as boron or gallium—that have one less electron in their ...

The manipulation of mechanical strain in materials, also known as strain engineering, has allowed engineers to advance ...

A PIN diode is typically used as a switch or attenuator element. PIN diodes have an intrinsic semiconductor sandwiched between p-type and n-type semiconductor layers. A PIN diode is a semiconductor ...

At an atomic level, semiconductors have a crystalline structure in which their electrons are arranged in energy bands. The ...

Engineered thermoelectric nanomaterials enable efficient heat-to-electricity conversion, advancing energy harvesting and ...
