Semiconductors are used in devices such as memory chips and solar cells, and within them may exist invisible defects that interfere with electrical flow. A joint research team has developed a new ...

Defects in transistors, such as unwanted impurities and broken chemical bonds in the various layers of the semiconductor, can limit their performance and reliability. These defects are becoming harder ...

A recent study published in the journal Carbon focuses on the application of high-powered laser pulses of brief duration for inducing minute defects in lithium-ion battery materials, which in turn ...

TSMC exposed the defect density (D0) of its N2 process technology relative to its predecessors at the same stage of development at its North American Technology Symposium this week. According to the ...

The transition to the 2nm technology node introduces unprecedented challenges in Automated Test Equipment (ATE) bring-up and manufacturability. As semiconductor devices scale down, the complexity of ...

In addition to surface and subsurface defects, residual stress represents a concern. Over time, these stress points, ...

Researchers found a way to tune the spin density in diamond by applying an external laser or microwave beam. The finding could open new possibilities for advanced quantum devices. Electronic devices ...
