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...

Abstract ; Nickel oxide (NiO x ) is one of the most promising inorganic hole transport layers for perovskite solar cells (PSCs), due to its low cost, high hole mobility, and superior stability. However, the mismatched energy level and undesirable chemical reaction at the NiO x /perovskite...

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 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...

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...

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 map companies belonging to the semiconductor value chain at the world level and investigate the turnover of the companies by jurisdiction of their ultimate owner. Total turnover for the top-10 companies, with respect to revenue, among the manufacturers of semiconductors amounts to 266 Billion...

Semiconductors are a critical input to production of information and communication technology and many other goods. The major economies want to be able to produce chips at home to avoid excessive dependence on supply chains in an increasingly unpredictable world, where trade is being compromised...

A basic component in electronic devices, semiconductors are essential to the production of many products, from smartphones to cars. Securing reliable supplies of semiconductors to safeguard the production lines of a range of industries has thus become an important policy goal, especially in the...

Semiconductor chips and their production are foundational for future innovation, future developments of digitalization, and economic prosperity. However, the role of production when discussing who is creating and capturing value across different industrial supply chains has often been...

Supply chain regulation can be a formidable tool to protect a country's resilience against unexpected disruptions of trade, investment and the supply of skilled labour. Its utility, however, may erode when geopolitics rather than economics becomes the primary objective. This paper examines the...

This paper reviews the strategies and plans, policy-making institutions, process and problems in China's techno-industrial development. Although it has made noticeable progress in some areas in the past two decades, China still lags behind in most core technology and advanced manufacturing...

Spurred by the success of the IBM PC, in the early 1980s, a new form of organization—the digital platform ecosystem—became common in all industries that used digital technology. Digital platform ecosystems were vertically distintegrated organizations, characterized by distributed governance,...
