A team led by the Australian National University has investigated antimony (Sb)-doped Czochralski-grown silicon as an alternative n-type substrate for solar PV applications in a study that included ...

Major processes in semiconductor wafer fabrication: 1) wafer preparation, 2) pattern transfer, 3) doping, 4) deposition, 5) etching, and 6) packaging. The process of creating semiconductors can be ...

LeTID minimal issue for gallium-doped Czochralski silicon PERC products Scientists from Trina Solar, Longi, Fraunhofer ISE, and other entities have looked at light and elevated temperature-induced ...

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 ...

Semiconductors are the foundation of all modern electronics. Now, researchers have developed a new method where organic semiconductors can become more conductive with the help of air as a dopant. The ...

Crystalline silicon solar cells are made from silicon wafers grown using the Czochralski process (which produces single crystals of semiconductors). The wafers have a low Poisson’s ratio (0.28) 1, ...

Semiconductor chips consist of dozens of layers, packing immense computing power into a compact form. They store and retrieve data for signaling and control and are essential in creating central ...

As countries around the world strive to reduce their carbon footprints and seek sustainable energy resources, the solar energy industry has experienced significant growth. Among the diverse process ...

The new method involves dipping the conductive plastic into a special salt solution – a photocatalyst – and then illuminating it with light for a short time resulting in a p-doped conductive plastic ...
