This study presents a multi-junction PPC with over 50% efficiency, addressing key challenges in optical power transmission for telecommunications applications.

Their simple structure, based on a metal-semiconductor junction rather than a p-n junction, enables them to switch rapidly with minimal stored charge, significantly reducing switching losses in ...

Challenging the world's most successful chipmaker with an entirely new type of computer chip may seem absurd—but it is no more ridiculous than the AI race itself.

Researchers have successfully developed an innovative electrode material called Conductive-Bridge Interlayer Contact (CBIC), enabling the realization of a 2D semiconductor-based image sensor with high ...

However, research into next-generation image sensors utilizing two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor nanomaterials -potential replacements for silicon- is actively underway.

With semiconductor detectors however, photonic quantum computing could become one of the most promising room-temperature platforms. In a way, the compromise in detector choice between fidelity and ...

Two types of single-photon detector technology are competing to become the industry standard in both fields: semiconductor detectors, such as single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs), and ...

A report by reveals that Sony Semiconductor Manufacturing, operating mainly from four factories in Kyushu, Japan, has shipped over 20 billion image sensors. To enhance its production capabilities ...

Sony's semiconductor division achieves milestone of shipping over 20 billion image sensors in just 5 years, with plans for further growth and investment despite potential loss of iPhone contract ...

A traditional PN-junction diode can perform rectification, which isn’t the case with a Gunn diode since it conducts in both directions. But because its two terminals, both with negative dynamic ...
