Page Scope

I know almost nothing about semiconductor bandgap and clicked a reference at Gallium_nitride that brought me here -- not very helpful for my needs. It seems that, since pages Band_gap Electronic_band_structure, Semiconductor, Semiconductor_device, etc. already exist, the intro and background given here are redundant, and this material could be merged. If the topic is really too specific, this page should be renamed "Semiconductor bandgap" and references be made accordingly. Jimmy Hers (talk) 19:13, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not one eV

Nobody these days would call a semiconductor of bandgap 1 eV a "wide bandgap semiconductor". (I wonder if perhaps this usage might have been current back in the days when germanium was used for semiconductors. Compared to Ge, Silicon at 1.1 eV is "wide" bandgap_ The opening section defining "wide" bandgap as one to two eV really isn't correct, by today's usage, anyway.

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

Possible relevance to new inverter technology?

There have been some suggestions by the industry that WBS technology could be of special importance to smaller inverter technology.

In particular, a contest (partially sponsored by Google) is encouraging usage of these devices. Would it be helpful to reflect these suggestions in the article?
