The word semiconductor is comprised of two words, semi (not complete) and conductor (something that can conduct electricity). Electricity is present everywhere, like in home appliances where current ...

As microchips become smaller, the shrinking size of their copper interconnects leads to increased electrical resistivity at the nanoscale. Finding a solution to this technical bottleneck is a problem ...

In the presence of a magnetic field, negative resistivity can produce a positive resistance, along with a sign reversal in the Hall effect, in GaAs/AlGaAs semiconductor devices. In a paper appearing ...

Thermal conductivity plays a critical role within semiconductor technology; to meet the needs required for this ever-evolving industry, novel materials that improve thermal conductivity are paramount.

A semiconductor is a material with electrical conductivity between that of a conductor (like copper) and an insulator (like glass). Unlike conductors, which allow electricity to flow freely, and ...

When a voltage is applied to a material or device,current will flow through it. How much current will flow is based on theresistance that the material applies to a circuit. The resistance of a ...
