How the Ground Plane implantation is performed without damaging (and w/o varying the undoped nature) the top Si (8-10 nm) in FDSOI technology ?

It is a general practice to introduce Ground Plane in FDSOI devices under the BoX. The Ground Planes are introduced by Ion Implantation through Top Si layer and Buried Oxide. I wanted to know that...

Can a semi-conductor material have different absorption coefficient?

Does the absorption coefficient of the semiconductor changes with the change in the structure of the semiconductor? If you have a thin film and nanowire of the same semiconductor, will the...

Have you ever experiencing air vent trouble in fermentation process?

Dear all, My research group is currently working with a 12-litre fermenter. Somehow, if we do the fermentation for more than 20 hours, the process will be more prone to contamination. Our current...

How can we determine the band gap of a composite material that is made up of a composition of direct and indirect band gap semiconductor materials?

I have a direct band gap material and an indirect band gap material. If I made a composite of both through physical mixing. Then how can I determine the band gap of such a material as the Tauc...

What is the best way to calculate electrical conductivity of semiconductors and the same system with a layer of oxide using Quantum Espresso?

I have tried BoltzTrap, and EPW but I'm not sure whether Boltzmann Transport Equation is a right approach for a complex system (semi cond. + an Oxide layer or even the semiconductor itself). Also...

Which plants and trees have the best ability to prevent the entry of particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM1) and nanoparticles in indoor environments ?

In recent years our group has highlighted the importance of trees and plants in public and recreation parks in large mega cities. However, we are interested in developing "green shields" to be...

For sigle walled CNT it depends on how the CNT is formed. In ideal CNTs the structure can be characterized by two numbers.

1) How many hexagons are there as you go around the circumference : n

2) Where do you end up once you go around by one turn as you go step by step from hexagon to hexagon [In the simplest case you end up in the hexagon where you started. But the structure may actually exhibit some helicity {such as a screw} as you go one turn around (doig n steps) you end up having moved a number of rows along the nanotube axis], the number of rows you have moved forward be m, say. Clearly, m

It depends upon two indices namely, n and m. If, n-m=3i (i=integer), CNT will be metallic otherwise semiconducting.
