    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiconductor

    The semiconductor materials used in electronic devices are doped under precise conditions to control the concentration and regions of p- and n-type dopants. A single semiconductor device crystal can have many p- and n-type regions; the p–n junctions between these regions are responsible for the useful electronic behavior.

  3. Semiconductor device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiconductor_device

    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

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_semiconductor...

    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).

  5. Semiconductor Science and Technology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiconductor_Science_and...

    Semiconductor Science and Technology is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering all applied or explicitly applicable experimental and theoretical studies of the properties of semiconductors and their interfaces, devices, and packaging. The journal publishes different article types including research papers, rapid communications, and topical ...

  6. Silicon photonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_photonics

    The semiconductor used for carrier generation has usually a band-gap smaller than the photon energy, and the most common choice is pure germanium. [ 25 ] [ 26 ] Most detectors use a p–n junction for carrier extraction, however, detectors based on metal–semiconductor junctions (with germanium as the semiconductor) have been integrated into ...

  7. Nanoelectronics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanoelectronics

    A parallel line of research seeks to create nanoelectronic devices which could interact with single cells for use in basic biological research. [21] These devices are called nanosensors. Such miniaturization on nanoelectronics towards in vivo proteomic sensing should enable new approaches for health monitoring, surveillance, and defense technology.

  8. Semiconductor characterization techniques - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiconductor...

    Semiconductor characterization techniques are used to characterize a semiconductor material or device (p–n junction, Schottky diode, solar cell, etc.).Some examples of semiconductor properties that could be characterized include the depletion width, carrier concentration, carrier generation and recombination rates, carrier lifetimes, defect concentration, and trap states.

  9. Organic semiconductor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_semiconductor

    In the early days of fundamental research into organic semiconductors the prototypical materials were free-standing single crystals of the acene family, e.g. anthracene and tetracene. [21] The advantage of employing molecular crystals instead of amorphous film is that their charge carrier mobilities are much larger.
