Breakthrough in measuring nanostructure dopant energy spectra
- MINATEC
- News
- Research
One of the key challenges of nanoelectronics is measuring dopant energy spectra in silicon nanostructures, because at this scale energy levels depend largely on the surrounding environment—and the in situ measurement of a single dopant is extremely difficult. However an INAC-Leti team of researchers seem to have found a way to overcome this hurdle. They […] >>
