Formed at the boundary between an N-type and P-type semiconductor is a P-N Junction which is created by doping a single crystal of semiconductor. The nature of the P-N junction is one of the crucial ...

What is a P-N Junction? A p-n junction is a fundamental building block of modern electronics, formed by joining together two types of semiconductor materials: p-type (positive) and n-type (negative).

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting is a potentially feasible strategy for converting solar energy to green hydrogen. However, current PEC systems suffer from relatively low charge separation ...

The feature size of silicon-based transistors is approaching the theoretical limit, which puts forward higher requirements for the “atomic level manufacturing” of semiconductors. The basic idea of ...

Back gate voltage determines whether a waveguide or electron trap is produced. Using the electric field of a scanning tunnelling microscope (STM), scientists in the US, Europe and Japan have created ...

A p-n junction is an interface or boundary between p-type and n-type semiconductor materials within a single semiconductor crystal. The positive (p) side contains excess holes, while the negative (n) ...

In semiconductor physics, the flat band potential is a critical parameter that influences the properties and behavior of semiconductors in contact with other materials, such as electrolytes or p-n ...
