Graphene-based materials are elective materials for a number of technologies due to their unique properties. Also, semiconductor nanocrystals have been extensively explored due to their size-dependent properties that make them useful for several applications. By coupling both types of materials, new applications are envisaged that explore the synergistic properties in such hybrid nanostructures...

For semiconductor technologies, achievement of their ultimate potential depends greatly upon the ability to fully harness and exploit their advanced properties, which in turn depends on understanding these properties and their limiters. As such, the detailed characterization and analysis of advanced semiconductor materials and structures is paramount for the elucidation of these fundamental str...

During design and implementation of the automatic materials handling system (AMHS) for a local 300mm semiconductor wafer fab (semiconductor fabrication plant), we observed and found an interesting phenomenon Vehicle Clustering Phenomenon (VCP) from the dynamics of automated vehicles: As time evolves, the distance between any two adjacent vehicles usually becomes very close enough as if all the ...

The electrodes of semiconductor gas sensors are important in characterizing sensors based on their sensitivity, selectivity, reversibility, response time, and long-term stability. The types and materials of electrodes used for semiconductor gas sensors are analyzed. In addition, the effect of interfacial zones and surface states of electrode-semiconductor interfaces on their characteristics is ...
