What are the common semiconductor materials?

Common semiconductor materials are silicon (si), germanium (ge), compound semiconductors such as gallium arsenide (gaas), etc., doped or made into other compound semiconductor materials, such as boron (b), phosphorus (p), incarcerated (in) and antimony (sb). Silicon is one of the most commonly used semiconductor materials.

Semiconductor materials (semiconductor material) is a class of semiconductor performance (conductivity between conductors and insulators, resistivity in the range of 1mΩ-cm ~ 1GΩ-cm), can be used to make semiconductor devices and integrated circuits of electronic materials.

New semiconductor materials:

Structurally stable, with excellent electrical properties, and low cost, they can be used to make field-effect transistors, which are widely used in modern electronic devices.

Scientists say the latest research is expected to make artificial skin, smart bandages, flexible displays, smart windshields, wearable electronic devices and electronic wallpaper a reality.

Expensive mainly because televisions, computers and cell phones and other electronic products are made of silicon, manufacturing costs are very high; and carbon-based (plastic) organic electronic products are not only easy to manufacture, low-cost, but also lightweight and flexible can be bent, representing the "electronic devices everywhere" this future trend.

Previous studies have shown that the larger the carbon structure, the better its performance. But scientists hadn't found an effective way to create larger, stable, dissolvable carbon structures for research until Zucescu's team developed this new organic semiconductor material for transistors.

Organic semiconductors are plastic materials that possess a special structure that makes them electrically conductive. In modern electronic devices, circuits use transistors to control the current between different areas. Scientists have studied the new organic semiconductor material and explored the relationship between its structure and electrical properties.
