More than $2 billion has been spent over the past 15 years in trying to develop the technology and infrastructure behind liquid-crystal-on-silicon (LCoS) displays. After a fitful start ...

Microdisplays based on liquid-crystal-on-silicon technology may soon gain wider recognition as they penetrate an increasing number of markets, ranging from electronic viewfinders to miniature data ...

It melts at 1410 C. The electronic configuration of the silicon atom is: (Ne)(3s) 2 (3p) 2, and the atomic radius is 0.132 nm. Silicon has the diamond cubic crystal structure with a lattice parameter ...

to create polycrystalline silicon (polysilicon), a very pure silicon with multiple single-crystal regions of different sizes and orientations. The polysilicon is used to "grow" a single-crystal ...

In the study “Adjustment of Oxygen Transport Phenomena for Czochralski Silicon Crystal Growth,” published in Heliyon, the scientists explained that the walls of the quartz crucible are the ...

Chinese PV module maker Longi has revealed that its proprietary hybrid interdigitated back contact (HIBC) crystalline silicon solar cell based on a full-size silicon wafer has achieved a world record ...

Pure silicon is not conductive. However, it can be made conductive by adding other elements to its crystalline structure, which then become known as "n-type" or "p-type" silicon. N-type silicon is ...

The Korea Institute of Energy Research (President Yi Chang-keun, hereinafter referred to as “KIER”) has successfully ...

Researchers are harnessing the power of tiny defects in an incredibly thin material to one day make computer chips that are faster and more efficient than traditional silicon semiconductor platforms.
