A University of Minnesota Twin Cities-led research team has solved a longstanding mystery surrounding strontium titanate, an unusual metal oxide that can be an insulator, a semiconductor, or a metal.

Pyrochlore oxides—a class of advanced dielectric materials—represent a promising next-generation approach to efficient energy storage. Their structural flexibility and tunable chemical composition ...

Just as circuit metallization must evolve to manage resistance as features shrink, so must the dielectric half of the interconnect stack. For quite some time, manufacturers have needed a dielectric ...

In the field of semiconductor fabrication, high-k dielectrics represent a class of materials with a dielectric constant significantly higher than traditional silicon dioxide. These materials are ...

UNSW posted its findings in ‘Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells’ this week. Image: SEC. The inclusion of a thicker aluminium oxide (AlO x) layer in tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) solar ...
