Silicon is king in the semiconductor technology that underpins smartphones, computers, electric vehicles and more, but its ...

Shrinking silicon transistors have reached their physical limits, but a team from the University of Tokyo is rewriting the ...

Shrinking computers, faster phones, and smarter gadgets all rely on one tiny component: the transistor. Invented in the 20th ...

“Indium oxide contains oxygen-vacancy defects, which facilitate carrier scattering and thus lower device stability,” says ...

By dumping silicon for indium-oxide, researchers have made tiny transistors that outperform devices previously made.

it is called a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS, pronounced "sea-moss"). Many semiconductors start their lives as massive cylindrical ingots of monocrystalline silicon called boules.

or silicon metal-oxide-semiconductor structures. While donor-based quantum dots take a different approach, they encode qubits through the use of dopants like phosphorus, with fabrication methods ...

Jean Hoerni, a Fairchild Semiconductor scientist, patents the planar process, a radically new transistor design with a protective layer of silicon oxide mounted on top of the transistor.

Gallium oxide has a band gap of 4.8 eV, with a critical field value of 8 MV/cm. This band gap is 3,000 times that of silicon, more than 8X that of SiC, and more than 4X that of GaN. Theoretically ...
