Semiconductors are usually found in electronic appliances, such as radios and computers. Semiconductors are electrically conductive and are used for power.
Semiconductor
Whether an element has an advantage or a disadvantage depends what you want to use it for. A specific element - such as carbon - can be very good for some uses, and not good at all for other uses.
Silicon the element is used in electronicsto make microchips. Si is a semiconductor.
Metal Oxide Semiconductor. Usually used when referring to a specific type of transistor which uses this type of semiconductor material: the Field Effect Transistor (FET).
A Shockley diode uses a metal-semiconductor junction instead of a p-n semiconductor-semiconductor junction. This results in a device with a much lower forward bias voltage drop and much faster switching times.
A semiconductor laser is a type of laser which utilizes a semiconductor as its Photon source, rather than a gas (Argon, CO2, Etc...) laser which uses inert gas as an active medium. Many physicists and engineers consider a semiconductor laser a type of "Solid-State" or "Two-State" LASER.
Yes it is. Some of the earliest semiconductor devices were made using it.
Semiconductors allow for the control of the flow of current and voltage by the use of resistance.
While the debit card uses a magnetic strip, the smart card typically uses an embedded semiconductor to store and maintain information.
A semiconductor slice is used to make integrated circuits or ICs. It is also known as a semiconductor wafer or a semiconductor substrate.
Its called doping.
Its called doping.
