Fluoride and silica contamination in water is a worldwide issue due to the wastewater discharge from semiconductor industry. Coagulation-ultrafiltration (UF) process is commonly used to treat semiconductor wastewater, but requires excessive amounts of coagulant/flocculant. In this study, an...

The cryptocurrency mining business imposes a strong demand for the semiconductor industry products. I find a positive association between the MSCI worldwide semiconductor index return and crash periods of the cryptocurrency market. This association is absent for the boom periods and other MSCI...

This paper has studied the electronic properties of multi-diluted magnetic semiconductor (DMS) layers Ga(1-x) MnxAs interposed between nonmagnetic GaAs layers. The asymmetry of confining potential on the transmission coefficient by tuning the temperature and the size of the (DMS) layers was...

Biosensors based on tunnel FETs for label-free detection have been studied extensively in recent years, where a nanogap is introduced under gate electrode to electrically sense the characteristics of bio-molecules. In this paper, we propose a novel nanogap embedded dielectric modulated...

The frequency dependence of the complex electrical impedance ( Z* ) and modulus ( M* ) of two types of semiconducting materials, is studied. These are Cu 5 In 9 Se 16 (CIS), an ordered defect compound of the I-III-VI 2 family and a novel bentonite clay system which is insulator at room...

In a small-area semiconductor the activity of just one single trap reveals discrete switching, which is usually referred to as a random telegraph signal (RTS). Such RTSs are attributed to the capture and emission of charge carriers by a single active trap located in an oxide layer. This activity...

We calculate dwell time of electron in magnetically and electrically confined semiconductor nanostructure (MECSN) that is fabricated in experiments by patterning a ferromagnetic (FM) stripe and a Schottky-metal (SM) stripe on the surface of InAs/AlxIn1-xAs. Spin-dependent dwell time is revealed...

Semiconductors are at the heart of the U.S.-China technology hegemony competition under the administration of U.S. president Joe Biden. Conflicts between the U.S. and China over the semiconductor supply chain are intensifying as Biden signed an executive order on February 24, 2021, ordering the...
