Why the compound semiconductors are not suitable for making transistors and ICs?

Compound semiconductors have very low lifetime of charge carriers and hence they are not used for making Transistors and ICs.Rather it is used for making LEDs and LASER diodes.So the compound semiconductors are called photo-diodes. -M.R


Is there another use for semiconductors other than to conduct electricity?

Yes. In electronic devices, semiconductors fulfill a variety of functions, including current filtering - a semiconductor diode only lets current pass in one direction - and signal amplification, using transistors. Transistors have many uses, including for electronic switching. Do some reading on diodes and transistors, while bearing in mind that they use semiconductors.Yes.

What solid-state devices can be made from semiconductors?

Two types of semiconductors can be combined in different ways to produce different solid-state components. These components include diodes and transistors.


What devices are made by semiconductors?

the computer you typed this on phones almost anything electronic phones, toys game systems etc almost all them are made of diodes and transistors; semiconductors


Do transistors follow ohm's law?

As transistors are made of semiconductors, they do notfollow Ohm's law.A: they cannot follow exactly ohms law since they are themselves no linear active devices


What is a poem of germanium?

Germanium is a chemical element, not a poem. It is a metalloid commonly used in transistors and semiconductors due to its electrical properties.

Semiconductors can conduct electricity under certain conditions?

Yes, semiconductors are materials that have conductivity levels between conductors and insulators. They can conduct electricity when subjected to certain conditions such as the application of voltage or exposure to light. This property makes semiconductors vital components in electronic devices such as transistors and diodes.


Materials that are not good conductors or and not good insulators are called?

Semiconductors. They have conductivity between conductors and insulators and are used in electronic devices like transistors and diodes.


Why you make computer parts with silicon?

The active parts of a computer need semiconductors, to form the transistors and diodes within the circuit packages, known as 'chips'. Transistors can be made from other substances, but silicon technology is still good, effective, cheap and well known.
