In this online engineering specialization, you will master the fundamentals of semiconductors and evaluate the performance of electronic devices by completing courses in semiconductor physics, PN ...

A heterojunction is an interface between two semiconductor materials of differing energy gap, and inorganic heterojunctions have been studied as the basis of electronic devices for over half a century ...

A new device concept opens the door to compact, high-performance transistors with built-in memory. (Nanowerk News) Transistors, the building blocks of modern electronics, are typically made of silicon ...

The formula for a perovskite compound is typically expressed as ABX3. These are crystalline structures that bond two cations ("A" and "B", divalent metal ion) to an anion ("X"); the "B" atoms tend to ...

In mobiles, fridges, planes - transistors are everywhere. But they often operate only within a restricted current range. Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich physicists have now developed ...

[Ken Shirriff] had to get down into a bit of semiconductor physics to give us an explanation of the TL431, which he calls “the most common chip you’ve never heard of”. [Ken] may well be right about ...
