TAMU’s Kim Dunbar Describes How Indium Nitride Can Improve High-Frequency Electronics
Chemist Kim Dunbar of Texas A&M University describes below how new breakthroughs in indium nitride production will improve high-frequency electronics
DALLAS, TX, UNITED STATES, August 21, 2020 / EINPresswire.com/ — Contributing landmark breakthroughs to the international scientific community for years, Kim Dunbar also frequently shares the successes of her peers around the world with online readers. Here, she speaks on recent progress in the manufacturing of indium nitride and what that means for tomorrow’s electronics.
“We place a heavy load on our current wireless data bandwidth when transferring information between our electronic devices, and we’re likely to hit a ceiling before long,” says Kim Dunbar. “To continue transmitting data efficiently and to increase our capabilities, we must increase our bandwidth to greater frequencies. Research shows that the material indium nitride is incredibly valuable to this development. In the past, indium nitride was difficult to manufacture, but scientists have developed a solution through novel molecules that will reduce that difficulty.”
The scientists behind the breakthrough come from Linköping University in Sweden. Henrik Pedersen, who serves as professor of inorganic chemistry at the Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology at Linköping University led the study. Published in Chemistry of Materials, his and his team’s breakthrough comes in the form of a new molecule that can be used to more easily create high-quality indium nitride — which can then be used in high-frequency electronics.
Electrons, necessary ingredients in data transmission, move easily through certain materials, indium nitride being one of the most effective. Kim Dunbar explains that scientists are able to transmit electrons both forwards and backwards in indium nitride at extremely high speeds. The material also allows them to create signals with high frequencies, which proves useful in wireless data transfer where new frequencies are needed.
Kim Dunbar says the composition of indium nitride — nitrogen and the metal indium — makes it a worthy semiconductor. Semiconductors are a necessary functional component of electronic devices as transistors are the basis for all electronics. However, it has proven difficult in the past to produce thin films of indium nitride needed for electronic devices. The reasoning: the powerful material breaks down into its constituents when heated above 600 degrees Celsius.
“The team of scientists at Linköping University have developed a new molecule called indium triazenide that is useful in epitaxial growth, which is a process required to produce the thin films of semiconductor needed for electronic devices,” says Kim Dunbar. “What they’ve achieved is the production of extremely pure indium nitride that will increase the capabilities of our electronics at a far less demanding rate.”

Kim Dunbar, mtaalamu wa kemia wa Chuo Kikuu cha Texas A&M, anaelezea jinsi mafanikio mapya katika uzalishaji wa nitridi ya indiamu yataboresha vifaa vya elektroniki vya masafa ya juu. - Dallas, TX, Agosti 21, 2020 - Kim Dunbar pia anashiriki mafanikio ya wenzake duniani kote na wasomaji wa mtandaoni. Hapa, yeye anaongea juu ya maendeleo ya hivi karibuni katika utengenezaji wa indium nitride na nini hiyo ina maana kwa ajili ya kesho ya umeme. "Tunatoa mzigo mkubwa kwenye upana wa bendi ya data ya wireless yetu ya sasa wakati wa kuhamisha habari kati ya vifaa vyetu vya elektroniki, na tunaweza kugonga dari kabla ya muda mrefu", anasema Kim Dunbar. <unk>Ili kuendelea kusambaza data kwa ufanisi na kuongeza uwezo wetu, lazima tuongeze upana wa bendi yetu kwa masafa makubwa. Utafiti unaonyesha kwamba nyenzo ya indium nitride ni yenye thamani sana kwa maendeleo haya. "Hata hivyo, ""indium nitride"" ni mbinu ya kisayansi ambayo imepata mafanikio makubwa katika utafiti wake na wanasayansi wa Chuo Kikuu cha Linköping nchini Sweden." Henrik Pedersen, profesa wa kemia isiyo ya kikaboni katika Idara ya Fizikia, Kemia na Biolojia katika Chuo Kikuu cha Linköping, aliongoza utafiti huo. Uvumbuzi wake na timu yake unakuja katika fomu ya molekuli mpya ambayo inaweza kutumika kwa urahisi zaidi kuunda nitridi ya indio ya ubora wa juu ambayo inaweza kutumika katika elektroni ya masafa ya juu. Electrons, viungo muhimu katika maambukizi ya data, kusonga kwa urahisi kupitia vifaa fulani, indium nitride kuwa moja ya ufanisi zaidi. Kim Dunbar anaeleza kwamba wanasayansi wanaweza kusafirisha elektroni mbele na nyuma katika nitridi ya indiamu kwa kasi kubwa sana. Vifaa hivyo pia huwaruhusu kuunda ishara zenye masafa ya juu, jambo linalothibitika kuwa muhimu katika uhamisho wa data bila waya ambapo masafa mapya yanahitajika. Kim Dunbar anasema muundo wa indium nitride <unk> nitrojeni na chuma indium <unk> inafanya semiconductor yenye thamani. Semiconductors ni muhimu kazi sehemu ya vifaa vya elektroniki kama transistors ni msingi wa vifaa vyote vya elektroniki. Hata hivyo, imethibitika kuwa vigumu katika siku za nyuma kutengeneza filamu nyembamba za indium nitride zinazohitajika kwa vifaa vya elektroniki. Kwa sababu hii, nyenzo hii ya nguvu huvunjika katika vipengele vyake wakati inapopashwa joto zaidi ya digrii 600 Celsius. "Timu ya wanasayansi katika Chuo Kikuu cha Linköping wameendeleza molekuli mpya inayoitwa indium triazenide ambayo ni muhimu katika ukuaji wa epitaxial, ambayo ni mchakato unaohitajika kutengeneza filamu nyembamba za semiconductor zinazohitajika kwa vifaa vya elektroniki, ""Kim Dunbar anasema." "Kile walichopata ni uzalishaji wa nitridi safi sana ya indiamu ambayo itaongeza uwezo wa vifaa vyetu vya elektroniki kwa kiwango kidogo sana.
