Today more than ever the world needs clean energy sources and thus a fast deployment and scaling up of the photovoltaic industry. In this context improving solar cell efficiency plays a major role. In order to achieve the maximum single junction efficiency ...
The present invention concerns a bodily implantable or probe device and microelectrode fabrication method comprising providing at least one silicon substrate including an electronic device or unit; providing, on a first side of the silicon substrate, at le ...
Semiconductor materials have given rise to today's digital technology and consumer electronics. Widespread adoption is closely linked to the ability to process and integrate them in devices at scale. Where flexibility and large surfaces are required, such ...
Gallium Nitride (GaN) is a wonder material which has widely transformed the world by enabling
energy-efficient white light-emitting diodes. Over the past decade, GaN has also emerged as one
of the most promising materials for developing power devices which ...
Semiconductors materials and devices are essential building blocks for many of the technologies deeply embedded in modern life. Improving the performance of semiconductor devices requires a deeper understanding of the fundamental mechanisms controlling the ...
The international actions against global warming demands reductions in carbon emission and more efficient use of energy. Energy efficiency in the conversion and use of electricity, as an important form of energy in the modern life, has strong environmental ...
Silicon photonics enables wafer-scale integration of optical functionalities on chip. Silicon-based laser frequency combs can provide integrated sources of mutually coherent laser lines for terabit-per-second transceivers, parallel coherent light detection ...
Recently, two-dimensional (2D) material based gas sensing, especially transition metal dichalcogenide-based sensing, has been widely investigated thanks to its room temperature sensing ability. Unlike metal oxide based sensors, 2D material-based sensing ca ...
InSb has the smallest bandgap and highest electron mobility among III-V semiconductors and is widely used for photodetectors and high-frequency electronic applications. Integration of InSb directly on Si would drastically reduce the fabrication cost and en ...
The majority of current semiconductor technologies are built on Si (100), such as the CMOS technology, or conventional solar cell devices. III-V semiconductors offer great perspectives given their high carrier mobility and direct band gap. However their in ...
