1. FUTURE TRENDS IN SEMICONDUCTOR TECHNOLOGIES

2. INTRODUCTION What is Semiconductor ?  A semiconductor is a material that behaves in between a conductor and an insulator.  At ambient temperature, it conducts electricity more easily than an insulator, but less readily than a conductor.  At very low temperatures, pure or intrinsic semiconductors behave like insulators.  The addition of impurities to a pure semiconductor can also increase its conductivity.

3. Current Semiconductors: Traditional Si, Ge, GaAs etc… Impurities: Phosphorous, Boron etc... Application: All electronics devices Microprocessors Various gadgets etc…

4. Current Semiconductors: SOI( silicon on Insulator) Improved version of fabrication process for Si Addition of SiO 2 or sapphire Improves Performance Radiative sensitive application Reduces parasatic capacitance Drastic increase in substrate cost

5. Future Trends Carbon Semiconductors: Why carbon semiconductors ?  Electricity can conduct through carbon  Carbon is not used as semiconductor  Size of carbon is very small  Speedy operation  Strong and rugged in construction

6. FUTURE Trends Carbon Semiconductors:  Substrate form: 1.Graphene 2.Carbon nanotubes 3.Plastic 4.Organic Plastic  Impurities: Nitrogen, Boron

8. Carbon Semiconductor  Advantages: Ultra High speed of Operation High Speed Frequency processing Long durability Eco friendly Very small in size
