Hot electron capture boosts perovskite solar cells

Hot electron capture would be one way to improve the efficiency of Perovskite solar cells, by directing the energy of those electrons to the external circuit, rather than allowing it to become heat within the semiconductor. Now a team from University of Groningen in the Netherlands and Nanyang Technological University in Singapore think they have ...

Q4 DRAM ASP only trending down 5% QoQ

The Q4 DRAM contract ASP is undergoing a 5% QoQ decline while unit volumes have seen considerable QoQ growth, says DRAMeXchange. Inventory levels may mean that suppliers will no longer need to cut prices to encourage further sales leading to stable and recovering prices in 2020. DRAMeXchange believes that Samsung will not increase its wafer ...

TFT backplane made using sALD

Researchers from Holst Centre have uses spatial atomic layer deposition (sALD) to create both the semiconductor and dielectric layer in a thin-film transistor (TFT) backplane.  Using a low-temperature, large-area process for the backplane, the team created a 200 ppi QVGA display demonstrator.  The process allows TFTs to be produced on cheaper, transparent plastic foils, significantly ...
