Enhancing semiconductor functionality with TeSeO Materials for future electronics

Description

In most inorganic semiconductors, electrons serve as the primary charge carriers, which limits the development of complementary devices and circuits. A recent study by City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) researchers has made significant strides in enhancing the mobility of positively charged carriers, known as "holes", in inorganic semiconductors. The research team achieved this breakthrough by employing an innovative inorganic blending strategy, combining various intrinsic p-type inorganic materials into a single compound, called tellurium-selenium-oxygen (TeSeO).
