In this article, we explain what semiconductors are; how they work, with an eye to N-type vs. P-type semiconductors; what semiconductors are made of and how they're built; and where they are found ...

Semiconductors can be classified according to their energy bandgap – the energy gap between the valence and conduction bands. Semiconductors with a bandgap of the order of 1.5 eV and over are ...

Diamond, often celebrated for its unmatched hardness and transparency, has emerged as an exceptional material for high-power electronics and next-generation quantum optics. Diamond can be engineered ...

There exist a huge number of exotic semiconductor materials, almost as many as there are material science projects using them. Still, modern manufacturing is dominated by two basic types of ...
