The use of technology in multiple industries has contributed to the growth of the global economy. As a core part of todays technology, the impact derived from semiconductors is two-sided. While the general public is focused on the advantages of semiconductors, the political-cultural-national tensions it creates are missing. Semiconductor culture is a combination of technology and politics in the context of economic development. The historical semiconductor battles between countries and the current semiconductor battles confirm this view. This paper reviews the Japan-US semiconductor war in the last century, the Japan-South Korea semiconductor war in this century, and the US-China semiconductor war in the last few years. This paper aims to use the semiconductor cases to demonstrate the adverse effects of semiconductor culture in the global economy. Finally, it concludes that semiconductor culture can strain political relations between nations.

Chemical degradation is a major disadvantage in the development of organic semiconductors. This work proposes the manufacture and characterization of organic semiconductor membranes in order to prevent semiconductor properties decreasing. Semiconductor membranes consisting of Nylon-11 and particles of π-conjugated molecular semiconductors were manufactured by high-vacuum evaporation followed by thermal relaxation. Initially, and with the aim of obtaining semiconductor particles, bulk heterojunction (BHJ) was carried out using green chemistry techniques between the zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) and the zinc hexadecafluoro-phthalocyanine (F16ZnPc) as n-type molecular semiconductors with the p-type molecular semiconductor dibenzotetrathiafulvalene (DBTTF). Consequently, the π-conjugated semiconductors particles were embedded in a Nylon-11 matrix and characterized, both structurally and considering their optical and electrical properties. Thin films of these materials were manufactured in order to comparatively study the membranes and precursor semiconductor particles. The membranes presented bandgap (Eg) values that were lower than those obtained in the films, which is an indicator of an improvement in their semiconductor capacity. Finally, the membranes were subjected to accelerated lighting conditions, to determine the stability of the polymer and the operating capacity of the membrane. After fatigue conditions, the electrical behavior of the proposed semiconductor membranes remained practically unaltered; therefore, they could have potential applications in molecular electronics. The chemical stability of membranes, which did not degrade in their polymer compound, nor in the semiconductor, was monitored by IR spectroscopy.

Various devices made of the third-generation semiconductor have been gradually applied to various fields with the rapid development of the third-generation semiconductor materials equipment, manufacturing technology, and device physics represented by SiC and GaN. Firstly, the characteristics of the third-generation semiconductors is analyzed in this paper. Compared with the first-generation and second-generation semiconductors, the third-generation semiconductor has a wider band gap width, higher breakdown electric field, higher thermal conductivity, higher electron saturation rate and more expensive price. Then this paper will talk about the application of the third-generation semiconductor. The third-generation semiconductor materials can be mainly used in three fields, which are photoelectric, microwave radio frequency and power electronics. In terms of the photoelectric aspect, this paper takes the blue LED as an example. The blue LED is produced because of the wide band gap of the third-generation semiconductor. In the microwave RF aspect, the paper takes the 5G communication system as an example. Third-generation semiconductors make the high-frequency, high-power devices needed for 5G communications systems. In the power electronics aspect, the paper cites new energy vehicles as an example. Third-generation semiconductor components have a number of features needed for new-energy vehicles. For example, third-generation semiconductors can work at high temperatures. Finally, this paper will introduce the development trend of it. In the future, larger wafers will become mainstream. The third-generation semiconductors will be used in more fields. In addition, the new material systems will gradually mature.

Semiconductor is now an inseparable part of almost all sectors. Nowadays semiconductors or chips / integrated circuits (ICs) are the lifeblood of all digital Products. Industry estimates are that India’s demand for semi - conductor goods will reach US $ 400 billion by FY 2025. Taiwan’s TSMC and South Korea’s Samsung manufacture as much as 70% of the world’s semiconductors. America only makes about 10% of the chips it uses. According to Global data, the semiconductor industry is facing an unprecedentad supply shortage since the end of the year 2019 due to unprecedented demand growth. The government’s plan to promote Semiconductor manufacturing may have a bright future for Indian semiconductor Industry. The government will seek to incentivise startups to design and make semiconductors. India imported $ 3.14 bn in semiconductor Devices in 2019. Semiconductor world market has to grow by $ 90.80 bn during 2020 - 2024. India can take it’s pie in this opportunity. India has to develop an ecosystem. Capital expenditure is required to expand production to address the rising chip demand. Setting up a new foundry can cost anywhere around $ 15 bn - $ 20 bn. Amid challenges Technology influx such as artificial intelligence, 5G wireless, IOT and cloud computing will remain key factors for rampant growth of semiconductors Industry in India.

This is a review of Total reflection X-Ray Fluorescence (TXRF) applications for semiconductors. This review is limited to surface analysis of contamination for semiconductors and does not include chemical analysis in semiconductor processing. TXRF for surface analysis is a relatively new technology. One of the first publications occurred in 1986 using synchrotron radiation. Publications using commercially available TXRF instruments for semiconductor applications began in 1988. Today there are on the order of 100 TXRF instruments worldwide in the semiconductor industry. Since 1988 there have been about 100 publications in this field, but this number does not include numerous abstracts and publications in Japan where the majority of the commercial instruments are found today. The commercial instruments were developed for the primary application of characterizing the cleaning of planar silicon wafers, however, numerous unforeseen applications were developed by users and many of those applications are reported here. In essence TXRF has much broader application today in the semiconductor industry than supporting the cleaning of silicon wafers.

In recent years, a new class of plasmonic materials based on doped semiconductor NCs has been developed. Similar to noble metals, localized surface plasmon resonances in doped semiconductor NCs arises from the coherent collective oscillation of free carriers within the NCs. The wide tunability of free carrier concentration results in tunable plasmon bands spanning from the visible to mid-infrared regime and these plasmonic semiconductor NCs have been reported to drive plasmonic hot carrier photocatalysis under near IR light illumination. These reports suggest that plasmonic semiconductors is an interesting material platform for efficient near IR driven hot carrier photocatalysis. So far the reported efficiencies are low and the mechanisms of hot carrier generation, transfer and recombination are unclear. There are interesting similarities and differences between metal and semiconductor plasmonics. First, plasmons in semiconductors can decay by inter- (band gap) and intra- band plasmon decay. Furthermore, charge transfer transition in semiconductor heterostructures have been extensively reported; can plasmon decay in plasmonic-semiconductor/semiconductor junctions proceed by exciting interfacial ET across the junction, similar to the PICTT pathway reported for metal/semiconductor junctions? Second, in plasmonic semiconductor materials, where there is a lack of states within the p-semiconductor bandgap, the transferred electrons in the accepting semiconductor CB can recombine only with the VB holes in the plasmonic semiconductor. This process requires dissipation of ~ >1 eV energy, which may slow down the recombination rate. In this talk, I will discuss our recent progresses in studying plasmon induced hot electron transfer and recombination in plasmonic semiconductor/semiconductor interfaces.

Narrow gap III–V semiconductors have been investigated for semiconductor spintronics. By alloying these semiconductors with manganese magnetic semiconductors result. Large magnetoresistance (MR) effects have been observed in narrow gap magnetic semiconductor p–n heterojunctions. The MR which is positive is attributed to spin selective carrier scattering. For an InMnAs / InAs heterojunction a diode MR of 2680% is observed at room temperature and high magnetic fields. This work indicates that highly spin-polarized magnetic semiconductor heterojunctions can be realized that operate at room temperature. Devices based on the MR include spin diodes and bipolar magnetic junction transistors. We utilize the diode MR states to create a binary logic family.

We identify a universality in the Fermi level change of Van der Waals interacting semiconductor interfaces. We show that the disappearing of quasi-Fermi level pinning at a certain thickness of semiconductor films for both intrinsic (undoped) and extrinsic (doped) semiconductors over a wide range of bulk systems including inorganic, organic, and even organic–inorganic hybridized semiconductors. The Fermi level ( EF) position located in the energy bandgap was dominated by not only the substrate work function (Φsub) but also the thickness of semiconductor films, in which the final EF shall be located at the position reflecting the thermal equilibrium of semiconductors themselves. Such universalities originate from the charge transfer between the substrate and semiconductor films after solving one-dimensional Poisson's equation. Our calculation resolves some of the conflicting results from experimental results determined by using ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) and unifies the general rule on extracting EF positions in energy bandgaps from (i) inorganic semiconductors to organic semiconductors and (ii) intrinsic (undoped) to extrinsic (doped) semiconductors. Our findings shall provide a simple analytical scaling for obtaining the “quantitative energy diagram” in the real devices, thus paving the way for a fundamental understanding of interface physics and designing functional devices.

Tradicionalmente, los compuestos orgánicos han sido considerados aislantes eléctricos. Sin embargo, el estudio de los semiconductores orgánicos ha llevado al desarrollo de alternativas al silicio semiconductor, basadas en moléculas π-conjugadas tales como las ftalocianinas. En el presente estudio, se llevó a cabo un dopaje químico sobre el dicloruro de ftalocianina de silicio (SiPcCl2), con un ácido dieninoico con sustituyente bromuro, Br-1 (BrDAc). El semiconductor orgánico dopado fue sublimado al alto vacío y depositado sobre diferentes sustratos, para llevar a cabo una caracterización estructural, óptica, y eléctrica como película delgada. Para la caracterización estructural se realizó espectroscopía infrarroja, y se evaluaron parámetros ópticos como la transmitancia y absorbancia, obtenidos mediante espectroscopía ultravioleta-visible. A partir de estos resultados se determinaron por medio del modelo de Tauc, las brechas energéticas. Finalmente, se fabricaron dispositivos eléctricos simples: ITO/SiPcCl2-BrDAc/Ag que fueron caracterizados eléctricamente, para determinar el comportamiento cuando la película semiconductora SiPcCl2-BrDAc forma parte de un dispositivo simple.

Texto completoResumen
Using Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance Effect for Enhancing Electrochemical reactions has been reported earlier both in terms of direct electron injection/transfer (DET) in outer-sphere reductive processes as well as charge injection into semiconductors via plasmon-induced resonant electron transfer processes (PIRE). While the former (DET) is mainly influenced by the lifetimes of the ejected hot electrons and their rapid cooling at the interface. For inner sphere reductive processes via the LSPR phenomenon, direct charge injection into the LUMO states of the adsorbed species is required. In this regard, it is imperative to distinguish between the inter-band charge transfer of the adsorbed species because of exposure to photons. In contrast to these charge injections into semiconductors via plasmon-induced resonant electron transfer processes (PIRE), they must be more understood and complex. In this presentation, we will use the well-known endothermic anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline pH to showcase the fundamental aspects of charge injection and its effect on the hole-driven OER mechanism. For this well-known OER catalyst, layered double hydroxides of Ni with Fe and Co dopants will be used. The electrochemical enhancement of OER will be explained based on detailed structural motifs of the semiconductors, its band structure, and the resonance effect of Au induced by the LSPR effect. Direct and indirect bandgaps will be discussed in the context of three possible mechanisms: (i) Charge carriers are directly injected into the semiconductor via LSPR. The semiconductor's conduction band is usually (-0.1 to 0.0 eV vs. NHE), and the valence band is between (2.00 and 3.5 eV), corresponding to electron energy between -2.00 to 3.5 eV vs. NHE. For LSPR nanoparticles, SPR energy is between 1.0 and 4.0 eV. Also, the Fermi energy of LSPR is usually 0.0 vs. NHE. Hence, LSPR only enables energetic electrons to be transferred from metals to semiconductors. It is the interface between LSPR and the semiconductor which is important. Charge injection is more prevalent when metal LSPR is of lower energy than the semiconductor—direct electron transfer (DET). (ii) Transfer does not involve direct electron injection but via (a) near-field electromagnetic and (b) resonant photon scattering mechanism. This has been shown to work by adding a thin dielectric material between the LSPR and the semiconductor. This would be most likely in the case of OER, where surface-localized plasmons will be the most important determinant instead of recombination events in the bulk of the semiconductor. This is most important for OER as it depends on the surface hole concentration. It should be noted that larger nanoparticles (>50 nm) have increased resonant photon scattering. Such a mechanism is more prevalent when we overlap metal LSPR and semiconductor bands, leading to plasmon-induced resonant electron transfer (PIRET). (iii) When metal LSPR is in direct contact with the semiconductor, all three phenomena could be active.

Semiconductor (photo-)electrocatalysts show immense promise in answering the difficulties faced in CO2 electrolysis in relation to the reduction product selectivity. We thus see materials like ZnO[1], Cu2-xSe[2], MoS2 [3], TiO2 [4] and their numerous composites being frequently investigated for their catalytic properties in CO2 (photo-)electroreduction. These catalysts are fabricated via varying techniques and can assume very different thicknesses and morphologies. Although the nano-semiconductors may behave differently, often only the bulk properties are considered when proposing possible reaction pathways. Determining band edge locations of semiconductors in solutions is one such case, where Mott-Schottky (MS) measurements are a widely accepted strategy. The measurement of the potential dependence of the capacitance of the semiconductor space-charge layer under depletion indeed forms an elegant method to determine the flat-band potential and hence the band edge positions for bulk semiconductors in solution. However, the MS method cannot be used for nano-structured semiconductor electrodes in the form of thin films, nanorods or nanoparticles coated on conducting substrates, as their nano-dimensions are typically much smaller than that of a semiconductor depletion layer. In this work, we explored an alternate strategy to determine band edge positions of nano-semiconductors using reversible redox probes. A model thin film system comprised of 30nm anatase TiO2 is used to demonstrate the feasibility of the strategy in aqueous electrolyte solutions. Fe, Ru and Cr based reversible redox species were used as electrochemical probes in cyclic voltammetry experiments with varying solution pH. Based on the presence/absence of the reversible behavior of these probes, we can deduce the TiO2 band edge locations. The procedure also allows us to draw parallels between semiconductor-metal and semiconductor-solution interfaces to gain new insights into the CO2 reduction mechanism on such semiconductor electrodes.

X-ray spectrometers give the capability to determine chemical element composition in electron microscopes. The semiconductor with the most experience as an x-ray detector is silicon. Silicon is the most highly developed material on earth, and has a lot of good things going for it, but for some applications we crave something with other good properties. For example, for room temperature detectors it would be best to have a semiconductor with a wider band gap. For higher resolution it would be better to have a semiconductor with a smaller band gap. For these reasons a number of other semiconductors have been developed as x-ray detectors. In this article I will talk about narrow band gap semiconductors. Next time I will discuss large band gap semiconductors.

This paper presents the concept and experimental evidence for the nonthermal equilibrium (NTE) process of charge carrier extraction in metal/insulator/organic semiconductor/metal (MIOM) capacitors. These capacitors are structurally similar to metal/insulator/semiconductor/(metal) (MIS) capacitors found in standard semiconductor textbooks. The difference between the two capacitors is that the (organic) semiconductor/metal contacts in the MIOM capacitors are of the Schottky type, whereas the contacts in the MIS capacitors are of the ohmic type. Moreover, the mobilities of most organic semiconductors are significantly lower than those of inorganic semiconductors. As the MIOM structure is identical to the electrode portion of an organic field-effect transistor (OFET) with top-contact and bottom-gate electrodes, the hysteretic behavior of the OFET transfer characteristics can be deduced from the NTE phenomenon observed in MIOM capacitors.

Semiconductor is the core of the information technology industry and a leading industry supporting economic and social development. Its products are mainly used in various fields such as computers, digital electronics, electrical, transportation, medical, aerospace, and so on. In recent years, the semiconductor application field has been continuously expanding with technological progress, and emerging fields such as 5G, artificial intelligence, intelligent driving, robotics, and drones have flourished, bringing new opportunities to the semiconductor industry. The main properties of semiconductors include conductivity, internal field, carrier concentration, and mobility. These properties are influenced by factors such as the preparation, processing technology, and device design of semiconductor materials. Among them, mobility is an important physical quantity that marks the speed of semiconductor carrier movement under the action of an electric field, and its size directly affects the working frequency and speed of semiconductor devices and circuits. For bipolar transistors, high carrier mobility can shorten the time for carriers to cross the base region, increase the characteristic frequency, and effectively improve the frequency, speed, and noise performance of the device. For field-effect transistors, improving carrier mobility is of greater significance. Therefore, this article summarizes different methods for improving semiconductor carrier mobility, including reducing impurities and defects, controlling lattice structure, adjusting doping element concentration, and intermolecular stacking. This page also describes the areas in which semiconductors with high carrier mobility are used, to serve as a reference for future semiconductor research.

ABSTRACTComplex oxides and semiconductors exhibit distinct yet complementary properties owing to their respective ionic and covalent natures. By electrically coupling oxides to semiconductors within epitaxial heterostructures, enhanced or novel functionalities beyond those of the constituent materials can potentially be realized. Key to electrically coupling oxides to semiconductors is controlling the physical and electronic structure of semiconductor – crystalline oxide heterostructures. Here we discuss how composition of the oxide can be manipulated to control physical and electronic structure in Ba1-xSrxTiO3/ Ge and SrZrxTi1-xO3/Ge heterostructures. In the case of the former we discuss how strain can be engineered through composition to enable the re-orientable ferroelectric polarization to be coupled to carriers in the semiconductor. In the case of the latter we discuss how composition can be exploited to control the band offset at the semiconductor - oxide interface. The ability to control the band offset, i.e. band-gap engineering, provides a pathway to electrically couple crystalline oxides to semiconductors to realize a host of functionalities.

Utilizing both charge and spin degrees of freedom of electrons simultaneously in magnetic semiconductors promises new device concepts by creating an opportunity to realize data processing, transportation and storage in one single spintronic device. Unlike most of the traditional diluted magnetic semiconductors, which obtain intrinsic ferromagnetism by adding magnetic elements to non-magnetic semiconductors, we attempt to develop room temperature magnetic semiconductors via a metal-semiconductor transition by introducing oxygen into three different ferromagnetic amorphous alloy systems. These magnetic semiconductors show different conduction types determined primarily by the compositions of the selected amorphous ferromagnetic alloy systems. These findings may pave a new way to realize magnetic semiconductor-based spintronic devices that work at room temperature.

The atomic composition ratio of solution-processed oxide semiconductors is crucial in controlling the electrical performance of thin-film transistors (TFTs) because the crystallinity and defects of the random network structure of oxide semiconductors change critically with respect to the atomic composition ratio. Herein, the relationship between the film properties of nitrate precursor-based indium-zinc-oxide (IZO) semiconductors and electrical performance of solution-processed IZO TFTs with respect to the In molar ratio was investigated. The thickness, morphological characteristics, crystallinity, and depth profile of the IZO semiconductor film were measured to analyze the correlation between the structural properties of IZO film and electrical performances of the IZO TFT. In addition, the stoichiometric and electrical properties of the IZO semiconductor films were analyzed using film density, atomic composition profile, and Hall effect measurements. Based on the structural and stoichiometric results for the IZO semiconductor, the doping effect of the IZO film with respect to the In molar ratio was theoretically explained. The atomic bonding structure by the In doping in solution-processed IZO semiconductor and resulting increase in free carriers are discussed through a simple bonding model and band gap formation energy.

The current interest in the wide bandgap II-VI semiconductor compounds can be traced back to the initial developments in semiconductor optoelectronic device physics that occurred in the early 1960s. The II-VI semiconductors were the object of intense research in both industrial and university laboratories for many years. The motivation for their exploration was the expectation that, possessing direct bandgaps from infrared to ultraviolet, the wide bandgap II-VI compound semiconductors could be the basis for a variety of efficient light-emitting devices spanning the entire range of the visible spectrum.During the past thirty years or so, development of the narrower gap III-V compound semiconductors, such as gallium arsenide and related III-V alloys, has progressed quite rapidly. A striking example of the current maturity reached by the III-V semiconductor materials is the infrared semiconductor laser that provides the optical source for fiber communication links and compact-disk players. Despite the fact that the direct bandgap II-VI semiconductors offered the most promise for realizing diode lasers and efficient light-emitting-diode (LED) displays over the green and blue portions of the visible spectrum, major obstacles soon emerged with these materials, broadly defined in terms of the structural and electronic quality of the material. As a result of these persistent problems, by the late 1970s the II-VI semiconductors were largely relegated to academic research among a small community of workers, primarily in university research laboratories.

Hetero-nanomaterials constructed by plasmonic metals and functional semiconductors show enormous potential in photocatalytic applications, such as in hydrogen production, CO2 reduction, and treatment of pollutants. Their photocatalytic performances can be better regulated through adjusting structure, composition, and components’ arrangement. Therefore, the reasonable design and synthesis of metal/semiconductor hetero-nanostructures is of vital significance.

Many of the chemical processes used to fabricate and metallize semiconductor devices are based on oxidation-reduction reaction. Electro-chemical processes using the semiconductor itself have the advantage of being able to photo-generate the reactants within the semiconductor to carryout local reactions. The development of photoelectrochemical methods to process features in semiconductor devices is a subject unique to the Electrochemical Society because it is at the intersection of electrochemistry and semiconductor device fabrication. Specific symposia at ECS meeting have explored these subjects. In particular, Noel Buckley was a motivating force behind the State-of-the-Art Program on Compound Semiconductors (SOTAPOCS) symposium series which offered venues for presenting interdisciplinary results of this kind. In this talk, several examples of chemical and photoelectrochemical processes for semiconductor device manufacturing from past ECS SOTAPOCS symposia, organized by Noel Buckley, will be described.

Texto completoResumen
In recent light of strained supply chains and global geopolitical tension, the U.S. is making significant investments to establish semiconductor manufacturing capacity and domestic supply chains for critical mineral resources to reduce dependence on other countries. Semiconductor-related critical minerals have become increasingly important considering the rise in demand for final products using semiconductor chips. The CHIPS and Science Act, passed in 2022, serves as the largest U.S. policy mechanism to expand investment in this field and enhance domestic semiconductor manufacturing capacity. This review outlines the critical mineral resources required for semiconductors, their origin, and the degree of dependency the U.S. faces across semiconductor supply chains and manufacturing. In the long term, more comprehensive policy, coupled with significant investment to ramp up domestic critical mineral mining and recovery, could enable the U.S. to establish a stable domestic supply to better support semiconductor manufacturing.

This paper aims to address the challenges of micro- and nano-engineering semiconductor compounds and fabricating metal-semiconductor nanocomposite materials by developing theoretical concepts for the application of electrochemical nanostructuring technologies to semiconductor substrates. It includes identifying the technological conditions for controlled electrochemical etching to create nanostructured semiconductor templates with wide bandgaps, such as III-V semiconductors (InP, GaAs, GaN) and II-VI compounds (CdSe, ZnSe, ZnxCd1-xS). The study also demonstrates the conditions for electrochemical metal deposition in porous semiconductor templates and investigates the laws and mechanisms of metal deposition depending on the composition of the semiconductor substrates and current pulse parameters. Additionally, the paper addresses the conditions for electrochemical etching of semiconductor substrates to produce nanowire networks with directed alignment to the substrate surface, instead of merely producing porous layers. A comprehensive investigation of the properties of the developed nanostructures and materials is proposed to demonstrate their applicability in nanoelectronic, optoelectronic, and photonic devices.

Compound semiconductors, composed of two or more elements, differ from single-element semiconductors like silicon. These materials are crucial because they have a direct band gap, unlike elemental semiconductors such as silicon and germanium, making them ideal for optoelectronic applications like LEDs, semiconductor lasers, and photo detectors. Robots rely on sophisticated sensors to collect vital data for their operation, including internal data on temperature, moisture, movement, and position, as well as external data from images, infrared light, and sound, processed through semiconductor units. Compound semiconductors are integral to numerous technologies around us, including electric cars, solar panels, satellites, spacecraft, and smart phones. Future innovations like driverless cars and artificial intelligence will also heavily depend on these materials.

Organic semiconductor-based solar photovoltaic cells and sensors are scalable, printable, solution processable, bendable and light-weight. Furthermore, organic semiconductors require low energy fabrication process, hence can be fabricated at low cost as light-weight solar cells and sensors, coupled with the ease of processing, as well as compatibility, with flexible substrates. Organic semiconductors have been identified as a fascinating class of novel semiconductors that have the electrical and optical properties of metals and semiconductors. The continuous demand to improve the properties of organic semiconductors raises the quest for a deep understanding of fundamental issues and relevant electronic processes. Organic semiconductor thin film is sandwiched between two metal electrodes of indium tin oxide (ITO) and aluminum to form organic photovoltaic solar cell. Several types of organic semiconductors have been utilized as the photoactive layer in the solution processable organic solar cells. The performance of the fabricated solar cells can be improved by dissolving the material in the right choice of solvent, annealing of organic thin film, slowly forming the thin film and introducing an infra-red absorbance layer. Besides, organic semiconductor-based sensors can be fabricated utilizing either in a sandwidch type or planar type device. Some of these techniques and the experimental results are presented.

The life expectancy of humans has been significantly elevated due to advancements in medical knowledge and skills over the past few decades. Although a lot of knowledge and skills are disseminated to the general public, electronic devices that quantitatively diagnose one’s own body condition still require specialized semiconductor devices which are huge and not portable. In this regard, semiconductor materials that are lightweight and have low power consumption and high performance should be developed with low cost for mass production. Organic semiconductors are one of the promising materials in biomedical applications due to their functionalities, solution-processability and excellent mechanical properties in terms of flexibility. In this review, we discuss organic semiconductor materials that are widely utilized in biomedical devices. Some advantageous and unique properties of organic semiconductors compared to inorganic semiconductors are reviewed. By critically assessing the fabrication process and device structures in organic-based biomedical devices, the potential merits and future aspects of the organic biomedical devices are pinpointed compared to inorganic devices.

The article is dedicated to studying both the long-term and current trends in Japan’s semiconductor industry. Semiconductor production is crucial for the present-day economy, and its importance is only increased by the ongoing process of digital transformation, by COVID-19 pandemic and the international political turbulence that puts strain on the existing global value chains. Moreover, semiconductors are urgently needed by electronics and car producers and by other industries that employ microchips, they could contribute to reducing Japan’s dependence on imported energy commodities. Developing the semiconductor industry is a task stated in official documents of the Japan’s government. However, Japanese semiconductor industry has been in relative decline since the late 1980-s, and the national producers now lag behind the global leaders in terms of technology. Various measures are being implemented to revitalize the industry and reverse the decline (that was partially caused by trade tensions with the US), including state subsidies and increased cooperation with foreign companies. If Japan manages to achieve its ambitious goals, such as doubling the size of the national semiconductor market by 2030 and launching the production of the new-generation microchips, it will lay the ground for other large-scale projects including the creation of ‘Society 5.0’ and the achievement of carbon neutrality. To proceed with the tasks, it is urgent that Japan’s semiconductor industry overcomes the current engineer shortage and employs the globally competitive technology. As the global demand for semiconductors expands, the semiconductor industry could become the engine of growth in other related sectors of Japan’s economy.

The mechanical behavior of GaAsP alloy semiconductor was investigated by means of compressive deformation and compared with those of GaAs and GaP. The nature of collective motion of dislocations during deformation was determined by strain-rate cycling tests. The dynamic characteristics of dislocations in GaAsP were found to be similar to those in elemental and compound semiconductors such as Si, Ge, GaAs, and GaP. An alloy semiconductor has a component of the flow stress that is temperature-insensitive and is absent in compound semiconductors.

Reducing the operating temperature of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) to 300–600 °C is a great challenge for the development of SOFC. Among the extensive research and development (R&D) efforts that have been done on lowering the operating temperature of SOFCs, nanomaterials have played a critical role in improving ion transportation in electrolytes and facilitating electrochemical catalyzation of the electrodes. This work reviews recent progress in lowering the temperature of SOFCs by using semiconductor-ionic conductor nanomaterial, which is typically a composition of semiconductor and ionic conductor, as a membrane. The historical development, as well as the working mechanism of semiconductor-ionic membrane fuel cell (SIMFC), is discussed. Besides, the development in the application of nanostructured pure ionic conductors, semiconductors, and nanocomposites of semiconductors and ionic conductors as the membrane is highlighted. The method of using nano-structured semiconductor-ionic conductors as a membrane has been proved to successfully exhibit a significant enhancement in the ionic conductivity and power density of SOFCs at low temperatures and provides a new way to develop low-temperature SOFCs.

Summary An important determinant of device reliability is operating temperature control. Maintaining a semiconductor device at or below the maximum rated junction temperature (Tj) is accomplished through careful thermal management design and selection of well-performing thermal interface materials (TIM) that minimize efficiency losses in packaging and between the semiconductor device package and a heat sink or liquid cold plate. Thermal management design is increasingly important in harsh operating environments, especially where higher operating temperatures are specified. Minimizing thermal resistances through each semiconductor package material stack and at the external case or package surface of the device are important aspects of maintaining operating temperatures within specified maximum values. In addition, certain semiconductor devices require an electrical path from the semiconductor case to an external component. Maximizing electrical performance of gallium nitride (GaN) RF semiconductors is critical to system performance, as a primary example. The on-going transition within RF and microwave systems from silicon to GaN devices has increased the need for thermal interface materials which offer both improved thermal performance and electrical conductivity. Additionally, GaN semiconductor die are typically smaller in footprint and, even with equivalent power dissipation values, therefore may operate with higher heat flux values that require greater attention to proper thermal solution design. To address such needs, recently-developed forms of metallic TIM preforms are available for integrated circuits, power semiconductors, and RF devices. Understanding how these materials may be tested and selected for specific application requirements is the subject of this discussion.

The sech-shaped pulse solution for excitonic self-induced transparency (SIT) is presented, showing significant difference in comparison with the well known SIT solution for non-interacting two-level systems. In contrast to 2π pulses in atomic systems, the phenomenon of SIT of interacting excitons in semiconductors occurs for the pulses of area 1.07π. Possible applications of the SIT solitons in semiconductor all-optical switching devices are discussed.

Semiconductor spintronics has now reached a stage where the basic physical mechanisms controlling spin injection and detection are understood. Moreover, some critical technological issues involved in the growth and lithography of the magnetic semiconductors have been solved. This has allowed us to explore the physics of meanwhile quite complex spintronic devices. The lectures will start with an introduction to spin transport in metals and semiconductors. Building upon this, I will discuss various simple devices that demonstrate this basic physics in action. Subsequently, more advanced devices will be covered. For example, I will discuss resonant tunneling diodes (RTDs) fabricated from paramagnetic II-VI semiconductors that can be operated as a voltage controlled spin-switch. A quantum dot version of these RTDs exhibits, unexpectedly, remanent magnetism at zero external field, which we interpret as resulting from tunneling through a single magnetic polaron. In the ferromagnetic semiconductor ( Ga, Mn ) As we have observed a very large spin valve effect due to domain wall pinning at sub-10 nm sized constrictions. Furthermore, we have found a novel magnetoresistance effect in this material, dubbed tunnel anisotropic magnetoresistance (TAMR), which is due to the strongly (magneto-)anisotropic density of states in a ferromagnetic semiconductor. The effect leads to the observation of a spin valve-like behavior in tunnel structures containg a single ferromagnetic layer and also dominates the spin-valve signal obtained from structures containing two ( Ga, Mn ) As layers, where the effect may cause resistance changes of five orders of magnitude.

Abstract In recent years, two-dimensional materials have received more and more attention in the development of semiconductor devices, and their practical applications in optoelectronic devices have also developed rapidly. However, there are still some factors that limit the performance of two-dimensional semiconductor material devices, and one of the most important is Ohmic contact. Here, we elaborate on a variety of approaches to achieve Ohmic contacts on two-dimensional materials and reveal their physical mechanisms. For the work function mismatch problem, we summarize the comparison of barrier heights between different metals and 2D semiconductors. We also examine different methods to solve the problem of Fermi level pinning. For the novel 2D metal-semiconductor contact methods, we analyse their effects on reducing contact resistance from two different perspectives: homojunction and heterojunction. Finally, the challenges of 2D semiconductors in achieving Ohmic contacts are outlined.

The kinetics of charge transfer at the semiconductor- redox electrolyte interface is described in terms of the Gurney- Gerischer -Marcus (GGM) model by using nuclear configuration potential energy diagrams, electronic configuration potential energy diagrams, density of state distributions and rate constant distributions. The model of identical parabolas for the nuclear configuration diagrams is used; this leads to Gaussian oxidant and reductant distribution functions, g(E), where E is the vertical transition (Franck-Condon) energy. The rate constant distribution, k(E), is obtained from the overlap between occupied and unoccupied state distribution functions of the semiconductor and redox electrolyte. Integration of k(E) gives the rate constant which is calculated as a function of the Helmholtz potential, VH, for various values of the reorganization energy, Ereorg. Three types of semiconductor are considered: intrinsic, doped and highly doped. For intrinsic semiconductors the charge transfer rate constant is relatively small and involves both the conduction and valence bands. For symmetric charge transfer (zero energy change, E0.0, for the reaction) both oxidation and reduction occur between the redox electrolyte and both bands of the semiconductor. For unsymmetrical reactions, charge transfer tends to involve only one of the bands; for net reduction, the valence band is involved, whereas for net oxidation the conduction band is involved. For doped semiconductors the rate constant is larger and only one band is involved; for n-type it is the conduction band, and for p-type it is the valence band. For highly doped semiconductors with the Fermi level in either the conduction or valence bands. the rate constant is even larger and only one band is involved. Changes in Helmholtz potential affect k(E) in a similar way to that for metals. However, unlike for metals, the calculated Tafel plots for highly doped n-type semiconductors are shown to exhibit a Marcus inversion region. This is a consequence of the energy gap between conduction and valence bands of the semiconductor. For doped semiconductors, changes in the Helmholtz potential also produce a maximum in the Tafel plot and because of the relatively low currents involved this maximum should be experimentally observable. For intrinsic semiconductors, variation of Helmholtz potential without inclusion of band bending in the semiconductor produces unexpectedly low Tafel slopes which are related to the ratio of the band gap to the reorganization energy, so that the larger the ratio the smaller the Tafel slope. This unexpected result, which amounts to an assumption of band edge unpinning, is shown to accurately account for the experimentally observed Tafel slopes for reduction at n-WSe2 of the dimethylferrocenium ion in acetonitrile.
