FUTURE TRENDS IN SEMICONDUCTOR TECHNOLOGIES
INTRODUCTION• What is Semiconductor ? A semiconductor is a material that
behaves in between a conductor and an insulator.
At ambient temperature, it conducts electricity more easily than an insulator, but less readily than a conductor.
At very low temperatures, pure or intrinsic semiconductors behave like insulators.
The addition of impurities to a pure semiconductor can also increase its conductivity.
Current Semiconductors:
•Traditional Si, Ge, GaAs etc…•Impurities: Phosphorous, Boron etc...
•Application:•All electronics devices•Microprocessors•Various gadgets etc…
Current Semiconductors:
• SOI( silicon on Insulator)• Improved version of fabrication
process for Si • Addition of SiO2 or sapphire
• Improves Performance• Radiative sensitive application
• Reduces parasatic capacitance• Drastic increase in substrate cost
Future TrendsCarbon Semiconductors:
Why carbon semiconductors ?
Electricity can conduct through carbon Carbon is not used as semiconductor Size of carbon is very small Speedy operation Strong and rugged in construction
