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 ...

Their efforts led to the successful creation of a high-performance and highly stable p-type thin-film transistor (TFT). The research has been published online in Nature. Semiconductors are used in ...

Two slices of N-type semiconductor, the emitter and the collector, form a sandwich with a layer of P-type semiconductor, called the base. P- and N-type semiconductors are made with different ...

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 ...
