(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 ...

[ProjectsInFlight] has been on a mission to make his own semiconductors for about a year now, and recently shared a major step toward that goal: homemade spin-on dopants. Doping semiconductors has ...

Ground-state integer charge transfer is commonly regarded as the basic mechanism of molecular electrical doping in both, conjugated polymers and oligomers. Here, we demonstrate that fundamentally ...

A research team has successfully developed a new technology to control doping at the nucleus (seed) phase to increase the performance of semiconductor nanocrystals. The study uncovered how the doping ...

Professor Jiwoong Yang and his research team at the Department of Energy Science and Engineering, Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science & Technology (DGIST; President Kunwoo Lee) successfully developed ...

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 ...

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 ...

Semiconductor devices are omnipresent - not just in microchips, but also in solar cells that convert light into electrical energy, and in many other applications that are part of daily life. Organic ...

What Is A P-Type Semiconductor? A p-type semiconductor is a type of semiconductor material that shows increased conductivity when donor impurities are introduced. These donor atoms are typically ...

A p-n junction is an interface or boundary between p-type and n-type semiconductor materials within a single semiconductor crystal. The positive (p) side contains excess holes, while the negative (n) ...
