Lead Unavailable

Nanofabrication

Henry I. Smith and Harold G. Craighead
OpenURL
Show Topic
Building complex semiconductor structures with features as small as 100 atoms across brings quantum effects to life but challenges fabrication technology.

Superconductor Images of Electron Device Physics

Karl Hess
OpenURL
Show Topic
Ultrafast semiconductor devices form the building blocks of supercomputers. Supercomputers, in turn, are essential for understanding the complex physical phenomena that underlie the devices and for optimizing device performance.

Probing Semiconductors with Femtosecond Pulses

David H. Auston
OpenURL
Show Topic
Techniques that use laser pulses as short as three optical cycles are revealing fundamental properties of semiconductors and paving the way for new high‐speed electronic and optical devices.

Ultrahigh‐Speed Bipolar Transistors

A. F. J. Levi, R. N. Nottenburg, Y. K. Chen, and M. B. Panish
OpenURL
Show Topic
Understanding nonequilibrium electron transport in III–V compound semiconductors has helped in the development of the fastest bipolar transistors.

Quantum Electron Devices

Federico Capasso and Supriyo Datta
OpenURL
Show Topic
When semiconductor devices become small enough, inescapable quantum effects open a whole new range of possibilities for electronic manipulation.
