[edit] wikipedia is not for self-promotion

J. Bartholomeyczik, I appreciate that you are studying the piezoresistive effect, and I'm sure you obviously understand the material, but it is one thing to include images from your thesis in here; quite another to cite yourself as a reference for more information. Interested readers with access to IEEE's resources should search there or find papers that are highly cited (by NON-wikipedia sources). Citing your own works is generally considered vanity on Wikipedia, NPOV, and is frowned upon in the community. Good luck with your thesis. Jwigton 02:42, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Dear Jwigton, my thesis has been done for quite a while and I am not working in the field of academia anymore. I have added the reference using my username login not trying to obscure the source of this just because I wanted to reference to the source I took most of the information from (there was no pizeoresistive Effect in Wikipedia until I added it). The article was checked and modified by quite a few people before and nobody seemed to object. If it is not good wiki style to reference my own work being the source of some the information or not, plaease excuse that. Julian Bartholomeyczik 07:47, 1 February 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Explanation of Piezoresistive Effect in Silicon

The "three valley" and other things mentioned do not help in clarifying the relation between Resistivity and Stress on a semiconductor. Please hyperlink these terms to relevant articles in wiki or expand the explanation here.
