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.

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.
Analyze patent documents with ease
Streamline your literature review by exploring an indexed network of patent documents directly within the CAS SciFinder interface. Dive deeper into any patent on molybdenum and selenium semiconductor compounds with an array of options, including full-text PDFs or the interactive reading experience offered by the CAS PatentPak Viewer.
Get instantaneous insights with the CAS PatentPak Viewer
Discover novel insights quickly when reviewing new patent literature with human-curated annotations provided by CAS experts. The CAS PatentPak Viewer interface contains direct links to the location in the patent text where a substance is annotated, saving you time by taking you directly to relevant information.
Explore indexed substances from any patent
Probe any patent document directly by substance using the Substances feature found on the patent page in CAS SciFinder. All indexed substances found in the patent can be explored further by clicking on the associated CAS PatentPak button, taking you directly to the location in the text where the substance was annotated.
