چکیده
An oxide semiconductor (perovskite-type Mn2 O3 ) is reported which has a narrow and direct bandgap of 0.45 eV and a high Vickers hardness of 15 GPa. All the known materials with similar electronic band structures (e.g., InSb, PbTe, PbSe, PbS, and InAs) play crucial roles in the semiconductor industry. The perovskite-type Mn2 O3 described is much stronger than the above semiconductors and may find useful applications in different semiconductor devices, e.g., in IR detectors.

Gallium Phosphide IMPATT Sources for Millimeter-Wave Applications
The potentiality of millimter-wave (mm-wave) double-drift region (DDR) impact avalanche transit time (IMPATT) diodes based on a wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductor material, Gallium Phosphide (GaP) has been explored in this paper. A non-sinusoidal voltage excited (NSVE) large-signal simulation method has been used to study the DC and high frequency characteristics of DDR GaP IMPATTs dsigned to ope...
متن کاملConversion of an ultra-wide bandgap amorphous oxide insulator to a semiconductor
The variety of semiconductor materials has been extended in various directions, for example, to very wide bandgap materials such as oxide semiconductors as well as to amorphous semiconductors. Crystalline β-Ga2O3 is known as a transparent conducting oxide with an ultra-wide bandgap of ~ 4.9 eV, but amorphous (a-) Ga2Ox is just an electrical insulator because the combination of an ultra-wide ban...
متن کاملSustained hole inversion layer in a wide-bandgap metal-oxide semiconductor with enhanced tunnel current
Wide-bandgap, metal-oxide thin-film transistors have been limited to low-power, n-type electronic applications because of the unipolar nature of these devices. Variations from the n-type field-effect transistor architecture have not been widely investigated as a result of the lack of available p-type wide-bandgap inorganic semiconductors. Here, we present a wide-bandgap metal-oxide n-type semic...
متن کاملSpin scattering by dislocations in III-V semiconductors
A semiclassical treatment of spin relaxation in direct-gap compound semiconductors due to scattering by edge dislocations from both charged cores, and the strain fields surrounding them is presented. The results indicate a deleterious effect on spin transport in narrow bandgap III-V semiconductors due to dislocation scattering. However, this form of scattering is found to be surprisingly benign...
متن کاملVerification of Near-Interface Traps Models by Electrical Measurements on 4H-SiC n-channel MOSFETs
4H-SiC n-channel lateral MOSFETs were manufactured and characterized electrically by current-voltage measurements and by numerical simulation. To describe the observed electrical characteristics of the SiC MOSFETs, Near-Interface Traps (NIT) and mobility degradation models were included in the simulation. The main finding of the simulation is that two models for the NIT states in the upper part...
