and earth-abundant elements unlike compound semiconductor materials currently used in efficient thin-film solar cell technology. he research was supported by the Energy Commercialization Institute of Ben Franklin Technology Partners the Department of energy's Office of Basic Sciences
On the other hand, what are known as compound semiconductors are to be embedded into conventional materials. In contrast to silicon, many of such semiconductors with extremely high electron mobility could improve performance of the most modern silicon-based CMOS technology.
they integrated compound semiconductor crystals made of indium arsenide (Inas) into silicon nanowires, which are suited ideally for constructing increasingly compact chips.
"In the next step, the scientists want to implement different compound semiconductors into Silicon nanowires and also optimize the size and distribution of the crystals a
monolithic approach Previous efforts to combine the efficiency of compound semiconductor lasing structures with the scalability of a silicon substrate have focused largely on flip-chipping of prefabricated diodes,
and compound semiconductors is to grow a so-called buffer layer on top of the silicon. But for the particularly large mismatch of Inp and silicon,
That approach would allow deposition of the compound semiconductor materials needed to red-shift the lasing wavelength into the telecoms realm at 1300 nm.
Researchers from the IBM Materials Integration and Nanoscale Devices group demonstrated a novel, robust and yet versatile approach for integrating III-V compound semiconductor crystals on silicon wafers a novel and an important step
but the new method is the key to integrating the technology with silicon platforms. hat sets this work apart from other methods is that the compound semiconductor does not contain detrimental defects,
