  2. Silicon dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_dioxide

    Because silicon dioxide is a native oxide of silicon it is more widely used compared to other semiconductors like gallium arsenide or indium phosphide. Silicon dioxide could be grown on a silicon semiconductor surface. [46] Silicon oxide layers could protect silicon surfaces during diffusion processes, and could be used for diffusion masking ...

  3. Shallow trench isolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shallow_trench_isolation

    STI is created early during the semiconductor device fabrication process, before transistors are formed. The key steps of the STI process involve etching a pattern of trenches in the silicon, depositing one or more dielectric materials (such as silicon dioxide ) to fill the trenches, and removing the excess dielectric using a technique such as ...

    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).

  6. High-κ dielectric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-κ_dielectric

    In the semiconductor industry, the term high-κ dielectric refers to a material with a high dielectric constant (κ, kappa), as compared to silicon dioxide.High-κ dielectrics are used in semiconductor manufacturing processes where they are usually used to replace a silicon dioxide gate dielectric or another dielectric layer of a device.

  7. 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 ...

  8. Silicon on insulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_on_insulator

    An SOI MOSFET is a metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) device in which a semiconductor layer such as silicon or germanium is formed on an insulator layer which may be a buried oxide (BOX) layer formed in a semiconductor substrate. [8] [9] [10] SOI MOSFET devices are adapted for use by the computer industry.

  9. Crystalline silicon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystalline_silicon

    Crystalline-silicon solar cells are made of either Poly Silicon (left side) or Mono Silicon (right side).. Crystalline silicon or (c-Si) is the crystalline forms of silicon, either polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si, consisting of small crystals), or monocrystalline silicon (mono-Si, a continuous crystal).
