Tape Automated Bonding, or simply TAB, is the process of mounting a die on a flexible tape made of polymer material, such as polyimide. The…

Superconductivity is a phenomenon of exactly zero electrical resistance and expulsion of magnetic flux fields occurring in certain materials, called superconductors, when cooled below a…

Resistivity is a measure of the resistance of a given size of a specific material to electrical conduction. Resistivity may also be referred to as…

Quantum mechanics is the branch of physics relating to the very small. It results in what may appear to be some very strange conclusions about…

Electric polarization, slight relative shift of positive and negative electric charge in opposite directions within an insulator, or dielectric, induced by an external electric field….

Squeeze certain crystals (such as quartz) and you can make electricity flow through them. The reverse is usually true as well: if you pass electricity…

Photoconductivity is the tendency of a substance to conduct electricity to an extent that depends on the intensity of light-radiant energy (usually infrared transmission or…

Permittivity, also called electric permittivity, is a constant of proportionality that exists between electric displacement and electric field intensity. This constant is equal to approximately…

Ohm’s law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points. Introducing the constant…

Mobility, in solid-state physics, measurement of the ease with which a particular type of charged particle moves through a solid material under the influence of…
