Semiconductor Materials :-
The label semiconductor itself provides a hint as to its characteristics. The prefix semis normally applied to a range of levels midway between two limits. The term conductor is applied to any material that will support a generous flow of charge when a voltage source of limited magnitude is applied across its terminals. An insulator is a material that offers a very low level of conductivity und...
متن کاملPlasma deposition of semiconductor multilayer structures
The early stages of thin film growth from the rf glow discharge of silane-based gas mixtures have been systematically studied by structural characterizations of the silicon based multilayers. The x-ray diffraction, its rocking curve and x-ray interference of hydrogenated amorphous silicon(a-Si:H, 10 % 200 A thick)/stoichiometric silicon nitride (a-SigNq:H, 25 % 250 A) multiple layers have been ...
متن کاملPhotoacoustic Measurement of Bandgaps of Thermoelectric Materials
Thermoelectric materials are a promising class of direct energy conversion materials, usually consisting of highly doped semiconductors. The key to maximizing their thermal to electrical energy conversion lies in optimizing three inter-related material properties, thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, and Seebeck coefficient. All three properties are affected by the carrier concentrati...
متن کاملGeneralized theory of the photoacoustic effect in a multilayer material
In this work, a generalized expression of the photoacoustic ~PA! effect in a multilayer material is derived. This expression takes thermal and optical properties and geometry of a multilayer structure, as well as the thermal contact resistances between layers into consideration. In addition, a composite piston model consisting of a thermal piston and a mechanical piston of the PA effect is deve...
متن کاملMicrocavities in Semiconductor Materials
Positron beam and helium desorption techniques have been applied to different materials, in particular semiconductor materials, to determine the presence of defects. The positron technique yields values of the positron diffusion length and values of the Doppler broadening parameters. In principle, defect concentrations can be derived and an indication can be obtained about the nature of the def...
