Piezoelectricity in Semiconductors Remains Largely Unexploited, Electronics Weekly Reports
Electronics Weekly reports that piezoelectricity, a property of many semiconductors, has so far gone largely unexploited in electronics.
What the report says
Electronics Weekly, in an article carried in its Tomorrow's Thinking column, notes that a property shared by many semiconductors has not yet been put to practical use: piezoelectricity.
Column background
The report recalls a story that the same column ran 65 years ago on the subject. The verified material available for this article does not provide further detail on that earlier coverage or on any subsequent developments.
Open questions
- Which specific semiconductor devices or applications could make use of piezoelectricity?
