114technology, history of — Introduction the development over time of systematic techniques for making and doing things. The term technology, a combination of the Greek technē, “art, craft,” with logos, “word, speech,” meant in Greece a discourse on the arts, both… …
115PIN diode — Layers of a PIN diode A PIN diode is a diode with a wide, lightly doped near intrinsic semiconductor region between a p type semiconductor and an n type semiconductor region. The p type and n type regions are typically heavily doped because they… …
116Schottky barrier — A Schottky barrier is a potential barrier formed at a metal semiconductor junction which has rectifying characteristics, suitable for use as a diode. The largest differences between a Schottky barrier and a p n junction are its typically lower… …
117N-type semiconductor — N type semiconductors are a type of extrinsic semiconductor where the dopant atoms are capable of providing extra conduction electrons to the host material (e.g. phosphorus in silicon). This creates an excess of negative (n type) electron charge… …
118Power semiconductor device — Power semiconductor devices are semiconductor devices used as switches or rectifiers in power electronic circuits (switch mode power supplies for example). They are also called power devices or when used in integrated circuits, called power… …
119Field emission display — A field emission display (FED) is a display technology that incorporates flat panel display technology that uses large area field electron emission sources to provide electrons that strike colored phosphor to produce a color image as a electronic …
120Focused ion beam — Focused ion beam, also known as FIB, is a technique used particularly in the semiconductor and materials science fields for site specific analysis, deposition, and ablation of materials. The FIB is a scientific instrument that resembles a… …
