Go beyond silicon
While the majority of semiconductors manufactured today contain a single element, generally silicon, next-generation semiconductor compounds use two or more elements to fundamentally alter their properties, allowing them to outperform silicon in terms of power, speed, and light emission.
Advantages of compound semiconductors
The tailoring and integration of compound semiconductor materials into foreign substrates have the potential to develop semiconductors with superior or novel functionalities impacting electronics, biosensing, and photovoltaics.
Semiconductor compounds containing molybdenum and selenium show promise in photocatalytic water-splitting mediums for hydrogen production and the development of semiconductor alloys for advanced photoelectrochemical devices.
Streamline your semiconductor literature search
Accelerate your semiconductor literature review to drive discovery and innovation with advanced CAS SciFinder® features like Search Within Results and powerful filters like Substance Roles.
Rapidly explore patents on semiconductor manufacturing
Easily identify and access relevant and detailed patent information on semiconductor compounds with CAS PatentPak®, an advanced functionality within CAS SciFinder.
Search curated publications by molecular substructure
Refine your initial Reference search by molecular substructure with the Search Within Results feature. Add Mo and Se atoms into CAS Draw to further narrow your results to compound semiconductor materials containing both of those elements. Additionally, you can select the number of components and substance classes to further define your structure search.
Filter your results by substance role
Focus your results on molybdenum and selenium semiconductor compounds to those that fit the role for your application with the CAS SciFinder Substance Role filter. Select the substance role ‘Industrial Manufacture’ to identify only the references on semiconductor manufacturing processes that also fit your previous search and filtering parameters.
