Understanding the Chemistry of Semiconductor Junctions

On September 21, 2018 in All, Energy Harvesting, Industrial, Power by Liam Critchley

Chemistry plays a major part in why semiconductor materials behave the way they do, and why current can flow through a p-n semiconducting junction. Here, we discuss what effect chemistry has on these junctions, including some of the mechanistic variations that exist in electronics today.
