Abstract
Ice is a new semiconductor material. Ice doping is accomplished by preparing aqueous solutions of acids (donor impurity) and aqueous solutions of bases (acceptor impurity) followed by freezing the solutions. A semiconductor device, namely a diode, is made by tightly joining or fusing a piece of acid-doped ice and a piece of base-doped ice.
Claims4
A method for producing a solid semiconductor material (ice) and a semiconductor device (diode) based on it, comprising preparing two aqueous solutions:
- 1) of the acid with a concentration of no more than 0.5 mole by dissolving an aliquot of pure acid in pure water (1st) and, 2) the aqueous solution of the base with a concentration of no more than 0.5 mole by dissolving an aliquot of a pure base solution in pure water (2nd);
- Electrodes connected to wires are placed into the prepared solutions;
- The solutions are frozen until ice is formed together with the electrodes placed into them;
- A semiconductor device, namely a diode, is assembled by tightly joining two pieces of ice doped with an acid (1st) and a piece of ice doped with a base (2nd) to form a contact surface.
