Chartered Semiconductor makes chips under contract for companies like Ericsson, Conexant and Broadcom, all of which are suffering from a slowdown in demand for communications equipment.
A good example here is a semiconductor made of silicon (Si).
Graphene is a gapless semiconductor made of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged into a honeycomb hexagonal lattice [1].
Oasis Semiconductor makes chips or the All-In-One peripheral market, also known as Multi-Function Peripherals, which may incorporate the functions of a printer, photo-printer, copier, scanner and fax machine into a single device.
"The only thing now is cost, and cost has never stood in the way of semiconductors making things happen.
The highest mobility of our devices is ~50 cm2 V−1 s−1, orders of magnitude higher than that of amorphous silicon and most organic semiconductors, making sSWCNTs ideal candidate for high-performance, solution-processed flexible TFTs.
Magnetic semiconductors, making use of both the charge and the spin of electrons, have been studied extensively in the past few years because of their promising applications in spintronic devices [1 11].
Moreover, the growing power of semiconductors makes the computers inside giant data centers ever more powerful.
Semiconductors made up 38percentt of the company's sales in the quarter.
