Scientists at Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) have investigated gallium-doping in p-type silicon wafers as a route to better performance. Testing these specially produced ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Doping, which can provide charge carriers to semiconductors, is an essential technology for semiconductors and devices, and it can be classified as n- and p-doping depending on ...

French scientists have studied the fabrication of silicon heterojunction cells with p-type wafers. With the adoption of gallium doping, the p-type products could come close to matching the performance ...

This high performance is enabled by p-type doping through nitric oxide (NO) treatment at 100 °C for 30 minutes. Furthermore, we scaled the channel length down to 50 nm, integrated a high-κ gate ...

A recent article in Nature Communications introduced a method for precise p- and n-type substitutional doping of two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors. This method was applied for the one-step growth of ...

The carrier concentration and conductivity in p-type monovalent copper semiconductors can be significantly enhanced by adding alkali metal impurities. Doping with isovalent and larger-sized alkali ...

The feature size of silicon-based transistors is approaching the theoretical limit, which puts forward higher requirements for the “atomic level manufacturing” of semiconductors. The basic idea of ...

Doping in semiconductors is adding a small amount of impurities into a very pure semiconductor material. It might sound strange to add impurities on purpose, but this is a critical to make ...

What is the Need for Doping in Graphene Research? Graphene, a novel material for the field of electronics devices, is particularly well-suited for investigating the unique electronic property in ...

Researchers from Okayama University, led by Research Associate Professor Hiroo Suzuki, investigated the use of carbon nanotube (CNT) yarns in thermoelectric conversion. They addressed the shortage of ...
