International research team unveils the first electrically pumped continuous-wave semiconductor laser designed for seamless ...

REC signed a deal to sell all the plant’s output to Qcells, which is building a complex in Georgia that will make silicon wafers, solar cells, and complete solar panels. REC makes polysilicon ...

To make decently performing transistors ... The chip manufacturing process starts with a round silicon wafer. Transistors are manufactured on those wafers directly and form the bottom layer ...

Silicon is, after oxygen, the most abundant element of the Earth's crust. But although about 75% of the Earth is made from silica — or silicon dioxide (SiO 2), the main constituent of silicate ...

Ferroelectrics at the nanoscale exhibit a wealth of polar and sometimes swirling (chiral) electromagnetic textures that not ...

Finding ways to deposit III–V compounds onto silicon wafers to make on-chip lasers has been a subject of investigation ever since. The problem is that the atom spacing and thermal-expansion ...

TSMC has achieved an enormous 90 billion US dollars in sales in 2024 – and is also earning splendidly again. 3 nm production ...
