FinFET technology, short for “Fin Field-Effect Transistor,” has several advantages over the traditional planar CMOS technology Here are five Advantage…
Initial Value Theorem The initial value theorem relates frequency domain expressions to the time domain behavior as time approaches. The…
Core Balance Current Transformer We use the CBCT because it lets us pass these cables through its center, allowing for…
Electron Theory I think the electron theory of solids is crucial for understanding materials. It helps explain how materials behave…
Depletion Region I find that the layer where the flow of charges slows down is called the Depletion Region. This…
Hole Mobility I think of hole mobility as the ability of “holes” (the absence of electrons) to travel through a…
Electron mobility is how quickly an electron may move in the presence of an external electric field, or the ability…
Fermi Level The Fermi Level is the maximum energy level an electron may occupy when it is at absolute zero…
To boost a semiconductor’s conductivity, impurity atoms are added to a pure or intrinsic semiconductor through the process called “doping.”…
