Researchers in quantum mechanics believe they’ve found a standard way to assess the viability of quantum memory in silicon chips — meaning existing components can be used as the fabric for a future ...

Micro injection molding has become a cornerstone for mass-producing microfluidic devices, yet demolding defects and mold wear remain persistent challenges. This study introduces a nickel mold ...

Introducing a vertical arrangement of n and p layers into the drift layer of semiconductors to enable bipolar operation is a way around the 'unipolar limit' problem in semiconductors. But defect ...

Korean researchers have found that the defects limiting silicon heterojunction solar cells (SHJ), the most efficient silicon-based technology in use today, occur in two distinct forms. This first-ever ...

“Traps” are places where an electron can be found "trapped" within a semiconductor. These traps are highly undesirable because they prevent electrons from moving around quickly so that they can be ...

In this study, metal contaminants, liquid particle count and on-wafer defects of Si- HMs and filtration removal rates are monitored to determine the effect of filter type, pore size, media morphology, ...

MEMC Electronic Materials Inc. today announced it has begun volume production of what it claims is a defect-free silicon wafer. According to the company, many silicon wafers have reduced surface ...

New nickel-PTFE nanocomposite mold integrates lubricating particles directly into the matrix, achieving over 1,500 defect-free molding cycles without coatings for microfluidic devices. (Nanowerk News) ...
