Semiconductor blog

Semiconductor is a kind of material with conductivity between conductor and insulator. It plays a vital role in the manufacture of electronic devices. The semiconductor device has become the core of the modern electronics industry and has been widely used in various fields.

The conductivity of a semiconductor is between that of a conductor and an insulator, which allows it to be used to make a variety of electronic devices, such as diodes, transistors and integrated circuits. The conductivity of the List of semiconductor materials can be adjusted by controlling its electron concentration, which is usually achieved by introducing impurities (dopants) into the List of semiconductor materials.

The semiconductor device can be used in a variety of applications, such as solar panels, LED lighting and computer chips. The most common semiconductor device are diodes and transistors.
A diode is a semiconductor device with two regions, one rich in electrons and the other lacking them. When a diode is subjected to a forward voltage, electrons can pass freely through the device and thus conduct electricity. When the diode is subjected to a reverse voltage, electrons are prevented from passing through the device, reducing its conductivity.
Transistors are more complex semiconductor device than diodes and consist of three regions: collector, base and emitter. Transistors can be used for applications such as amplifying current and switching circuits.
