Silicon has the diamond cubic crystal structure with a lattice parameter of 0.543 nm. The nearest neighbor distance is 0.235 nm. The diamond cubic crystal structure has an fcc lattice with a basis of ...

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 ...

"Fossil feathers are usually preserved in ancient mudrocks laid down in lakes or lagoons. The fossil vulture is preserved in ...

While still working at Bell Labs in 1950, Teal began growing silicon crystals to see if they might work better. But just as it had taken years to produce pure enough germanium, it took several ...

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 ...

From silicon crystal growth and photolithography to advanced chip designs and quality testing, every step is essential. Watch how clean rooms and cutting-edge machinery bring together intricate ...

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 ...

Researchers in Canada compared strawberry growth under uniform illumination from semi-transparent thin-film cadmium telluride ...

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 ...

Gstar has marked a significant milestone with the shipment of its first batch of core equipment for its new photovoltaic manufacturing facility in Indonesia. The shipment includes monocrystalline ...
