Mostly-Analog editor Andy Turudic takes a look at the original 1963 ISSCC paper that described the world’s first CMOS process ...

In this article, we explain what semiconductors are; how they work, with an eye to N-type vs. P-type semiconductors; what semiconductors are made of and how they're built; and where they are found ...

The diagram illustrates the basic design of an NPN junction transistor. Two slices of N-type semiconductor, the emitter and the collector, form a sandwich with a layer of P-type semiconductor ...

A solar cell is made of two types of semiconductors, called p-type and n-type silicon. The p-type silicon is produced by adding atoms—such as boron or gallium—that have one less electron in their ...

KAIST develops multifunctional bipolar transistors using indium selenide KAIST pioneers innovative technology for versatile ...

Instead of being a sandwich, MOSFETs have a channel of either N- or P- type semiconductor running through a ridge on top of the other type. As a voltage is applied to this channel, it creates an ...

Semiconductors are materials that have a small ... contacts can be used to probe fractional quantum Hall states in n-type high-mobility molybdenum disulfide transistors. The authors study the ...
