Being a relatively new element when compared to many other known elements, Germanium has only been documented element since 1886. It has little to offer in the way of health benefits, but it still remains a useful element. Chemical Properties Germanium is the thirty-second element in the periodic table represented with the symbol Ge. It is located in the fourth period under group fourteen. Along with other elements like Silicon and Arsenic, Germanium is a metalloid. As a metalloid, Germanium…

Atomic Electronic Chip (APA) Science and technology, these two things go together like a polar bear and ice. One simply cannot exist without the other. With so much pressure on scientists and engineers to build better, more sophisticated technology, there is also a strong emphasis on size. Everyone wants so much more power and performance, but without the bulkiness that inevitably comes with it. Since the first commercially sold cell phone in 1983 (Seward, 2013), advancements in technology have…

Supplemental information for “Colloidal Type-II CdS/ZnSe NCs : Synthesis, Electronic Structures, and Spectroscopic Properties” S.A. Ivanov, A. Piryatinski, J. Nanda, S. Tretiak, D. Werder, V. I. Klimov Theoretical model. To describe quantum states in a spherically symmetric Type-II core/shell nanocrystals (NC) characterized by the core radius R and the shell width H, we use effective mass approximation. We assume the existence of single energy bands for both electrons and holes. This assumption…

Dipole-dipole array has wide using in resistivity/I.P. surveys because of the low E.M. coupling between the current and potential circuits. The arrangement of the electrodes is shown in Figure( )., Electrodes c1 and c2 are separated by a distance (a), and electrodes p1 and p2 are separated by a distance (b). the distance between the potential electrodes pair c1-c2 is the same as the distance between the potential electrodes pair P1-P2 and the distance between the centers of the respective…

It has the strongest manufacturing capability in analog market. Texas Instruments also operates design centers strategically. It provides design, engineering, product application and…

Background of the company Cypress Semiconductor Corporation located in San Jose, found in 1982 by T.J. Rodgers and he used four years to turn the company into public supplier. The Wall Street Journal had named Cypress as ‘Quintessential Entrepreneurial Company’ due to the company had received many rewards in finance (Cypress, 2015). Cypress semiconductor have five nucleus vision which are ‘Cypress are about being a winner’, ‘People who work in Cypress are the best of the best’, ‘Cypress…

Interviewer: Okay Chris, thanks. One of the things that I heard mostly about SiBEAM, and I only had a chance to meet one of the founders when you guys were still in the old office, right at the integration was being announced. It was very early on and the purpose of that was to just find out about what this Silicon Image culture and it quickly became apparent within Silicon Image, their siting culture, and so now we are fast forwarding two years, and now it is Silicon Image, in Lattice and…

INTRODUCTION 1.1 :R[1] MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) are innovative microfabricated devices with critical dimensions in the range of 1 to 1000µm. These devices are electro-mechanical structures whose complexity varies from a simple actuator to a highly complex electromechanical system performing a wide variety of sensing and control. Introduced in the early 60’s the development of this technology has been growing tremendously. It has been the pioneer in sensor and other applications.…

1. What is the forbidden gap in semiconductors? One electron volt (eV) 2. At absolute zero temperature, semiconductor behaves as Insulator 3. Define electrical conductivity. Electrical conductivity is the ability to conduct an electric current. 4. What are the two types of charge carriers in semiconductors? Electrons and holes are the two types of charge carriers in semiconductor. 5. Define charge carrier. Charge carrier is a particle, which carries electric charge or electric current from one…
