Types of Semiconductors

667
Intrinsic semiconductors are highly pure materials with no impurities. At absolute zero, these semiconductors behave as perfect insulators because all the valence electrons are bound, and the conduction band is empty, disallowing electrical conduction. The Fermi level is a concept used to describe the probability of occupancy of energy levels by electrons at thermal equilibrium. In intrinsic semiconductors, the Fermi level is positioned at the midpoint of the energy gap at absolute zero. When...

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the commercialization potential of 2D materials, focusing on TMDs.
  • To compare the progress of 2D materials with established (Si) and emerging (GaN, GaAs) electronic materials.
  • To explore pathways for cost-effective, wafer-scale production and integration of 2D materials.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current trends and progress in semiconductor materials (Si, GaN, GaAs) and 2D materials.
  • Analysis of challenges in large-scale, wafer-scale production of 2D materials.
  • Exploration of unconventional fabrication techniques like printing for 2D materials.

Main Results:
