An alternative to silicon, gallium nitride-based power semiconductors feature a material that offers benefits in ...

In the case of the n-channel transistor, a tensile silicon nitride cap is deposited on top of the transistor to induce uniaxial tensile strain in the silicon channel and improve electron mobility.

Alternative materials include cast iron and refractory ceramics, silicon carbide and aluminum titanate. Sialon is an alloy of silicon nitride and offers superior thermal and mechanical properties.

Laboratory testing has revealed that some negatively-doped, "n-type" tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) and ...

In a new paper published in nature communications, the Chinese solar manufacturer explained that the heterojunction back ...
