High-Value: Semiconductors - Basis for Use

• Basis for use
• DUO₂ has good electronic properties for semi-conductor applications
  • Have made and tested a diode and transistor which appear superior to standard semi-conductor materials
• Replacing silicon chips with DUO₂ chips would use 30,000 MTU/yr
• DUO₂ can tolerate much higher temperatures and radiation fields than silicon, germanium, etc.
• Solar cells or computer chips for space applications
• DUO₂ has potential as a thermoelectric medium
• Heating and cooling without moving parts
