Here is why gallium nitride (GaN) is the natural successor to silicon MOSFETs in the 100–650 V class of power devices.

Silicon, a semi-metal, bonds in its natural form with four other elements and its three-dimensional structure takes the form of a tetrahedron. For a long time, it seemed impossible to achieve the ...

"A vastly improved understanding of the crystal structure of silicon, the 'universal' substrate or foundation material on which everything is built, will be crucial in understanding the nature of ...

Flash-freezing reveals how cooling speed shapes silicon crystal layers, offering insights into defect-free growth for semiconductors and mirroring early-universe transitions. (Nanowerk News) Solar ...

Using a groundbreaking new technique at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), an international collaboration led by NIST researchers has revealed previously unrecognized ...
