Researchers in Taiwan have discovered that in polysilicon production the crucible angular speed affects the oxygen concentration near the crucible wall, which in turn affects the wafers’ mechanical ...

From quartz sand to silicon wafers, the manufacturing process is critical for achieving the purity and quality needed for advanced semiconductor applications.

Wolfspeed, Inc. (NYSE: WOLF), a global leader in silicon carbide technology, today announced a significant industry milestone with the successful production of a single crystal 300mm (12-inch) silicon ...

In the strange world of quantum physics, even the tiniest tweak can unlock outsized rewards.

The needle-shaped surface structure of black silicon where needles are made of single-crystal silicon. The nanomaterial is absolutely chemically inert, non-invasive, and could support a strong and non ...

Defect-filled lead-halide perovskites rival silicon solar cells because domain walls inside the material separate and guide charges. Researchers visualized these charge-transport networks using a ...

Since silicon is the third most abundant element on Earth (after iron and oxygen), it is undoubtedly a readily accessible raw material. It is a significant component of solar cells and electronic ...

There has been much research on the fabrication of nanochannels using local oxidation and consequent etching of silicon surfaces. Although this technique has been extensively demonstrated, it has the ...
