T oday, silicon photonic circuits connect server racks and play key roles in chemical sensors, biosensors, and LIDAR for self ...

to create polycrystalline silicon (polysilicon), a very pure silicon with multiple single-crystal regions of different sizes and orientations. The polysilicon is used to "grow" a single-crystal ...

More than $2 billion has been spent over the past 15 years in trying to develop the technology and infrastructure behind liquid-crystal-on-silicon (LCoS) displays. After a fitful start ...

Will Norman asks if mass-scale deployment of perovskite technology is now imminent and whether it could unseat crystalline ...

The University of Konstanz and Chinese panel maker Longi have assessed the impact of gettering on LeTID in industrial ...

While still working at Bell Labs in 1950, Teal began growing silicon crystals to see if they might work better. But just as it had taken years to produce pure enough germanium, it took several ...

Silicon has the diamond cubic crystal structure with a lattice parameter of 0.543 nm. The nearest neighbor distance is 0.235 nm. The diamond cubic crystal structure has an fcc lattice with a basis of ...

Pure silicon is not conductive. However, it can be made conductive by adding other elements to its crystalline structure, which then become known as "n-type" or "p-type" silicon. N-type silicon is ...

Kuruma and his colleagues were able to design and fabricate diamond-based phononic crystals with nanoscale precision, embedding silicon-vacancy color centers within them. Using their newly ...

Microdisplays based on liquid-crystal-on-silicon technology may soon gain wider recognition as they penetrate an increasing number of markets, ranging from electronic viewfinders to miniature data ...
