2021 IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting Highlights Educational Opportunities in Leading-Edge Semiconductor Technologies
While the comprehensive technical program for the 2021 IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) will be finalized in the fall, the popular IEDM Tutorials and Short Courses are already set. The broad reach, interdisciplinary nature and technical depth of the topics that will be discussed in these educational events can serve as a “crystal ball” of sorts to show where the industry is headed. For those who wish to get…
Heavily Enriched: An Energy-Efficient Way of Enriching Hydrogen Isotopes in Silicon
Deuterium, a heavier but less abundant version of the hydrogen atom, has many practical applications. Unfortunately, producing deuterium and using it to protect silicon-based semiconductors requires a lot of energy and very expensive deuterium gas. Now, scientists from Japan have discovered an energy-efficient exchange reaction to swap hydrogen atoms for deuterium on the surface of nanocrystalline silicon. Their results pave the way to more durable electronic devices while keeping costs and the environmental impact low.
