Today, most research and development in this material system are focused on its conventional, hexagonal (i.e., wurtzite) phase although its cubic (i.e., zincblende) phase has more inherent advantages ...

The processors of the future might not be made with silicon as they have been for nearly 50 years. New research headed by ARM and PragmatIC has produced a flexible processor made out of plastic.

Power cube: Researchers claim that cubic boron arsenide is the best semiconducting material ever found, and perhaps even the best possible one. (Courtesy: Christine Daniloff/MIT) Cubic boron arsenide ...

High Thermal Conductivity in Wafer-Scale Cubic Silicon Carbide ... releases posted to EurekAlert! by contributing institutions or for the use of any information through the EurekAlert system. ...

Silicon has had a long run as the king of semiconductors, and why not? It’s plentiful and works well. However, working well and working ideally are two different things. In particular, electr… ...

The latter option "replaces" silicon while everything is still made entirely on silicon wafers. Also boron arsenide I think has huge manufacturability problems, something like diamond. More options ...

Silicon does not convert light into electrical signals (or reverse the signal from electricity to light) efficiently. This means that semiconductor applications in solar panels, camera sensors, and ...

The silicon wafer is currently the bottleneck in the U.S. solar value chain and the OCIM partnership solidly positions Cubic to meet the demand for U.S.-produced wafers.

Raleigh, NC, USA September 30, 2024 New system extends ASM’s portfolio of industry benchmark single wafer silicon carbide epitaxy systems, the 6” PE1O6 and 8” PE1O8 systems, with a higher ...

Silicon solar wafer manufacturer CubicPV and South Korean silicon producer OCI announced an eight-year supply agreement in which Cubic becomes OCIM’s first US customer for its low-carbon, US ...
