Scientists developed greener and cheaper way to make single-crystalline semiconductor films Updated On Fri, Sep 15th, 2017 by Saurenergy Scientists have developed a greener and cheaper way to make single-crystalline semiconductor films, components at the heart of our electric gadgets, including smartphones, computers and solar panels. The fastest integrated circuits feature transistors consisting of germanium films on silicon. However, such materials are typically only prepared at elevated temperatures, with complex machinery that involve haza-rdous […] Read more
