semiconducting


  • s  having characteristics of a semiconductor; that is having electrical conductivity greater than insulators but less than good conductors

  • To make transistors and chips, scientists "dope" a semiconducting material ike silicon with impurities, creating regions that have either an excess or a deiciency of electrons .
  • Another Bell innovation is the magnetic-bubble memory, in which microscopic pockets of magnetism ("bubbles") are created in a semiconducting material.
  • It was nothing more than a sandwich of semiconducting materials, mostly crystals of germanium; silicon became popular later.

  • Scientists scale terahertz peaks in nanotubes
    Carbon nanotubes carry plasmonic signals in the terahertz range of the electromagnetic spectrum, but only if they’re metallic by nature or doped. In new research, the Rice University laboratory of physicist Junichiro Kono disproved previous theories that dominant terahertz response comes from narrow-gap semiconducting nanotubes. read more

    Biology doesn't really have metals, so the idea would be to use these [organic wires] to mimic metallic or other semiconducting components used, for example, in pacemakers or other devices where you need to supply electrical current,said...

    Our material's architecture is deceptively simple-just two alternating layers of semiconducting material-aluminum indium arsenide and highly doped indium gallium arsenide,said Gmachl. "We could have used two other semiconductors, but we...

    Amazingly enough, we have been staying on or a little ahead of that trend for the last 40 years,Dr Moore said in a telephone conference last week. "It has gotten to the point where participants in the semiconducting industry recognise they...
