Silicon based semiconductors are the most commonly used semiconductor material in calculators. Silicon semiconductors are also extensively used in computers.
What else can I help you with?
Why are metalloids semiconductors?
Metalloids when used is electronics are called semiconductors.
What element is used to make semiconductors?
silicon
What common element is used in semiconductors?
silicon
What semiconductor is used in calculators?
Silicon based semiconductors are the most commonly used semiconductor material in calculators. Silicon semiconductors are also extensively used in computers.
Where are semiconductors used?
amplifierswitchcurrent source/regulatorvoltage source/regulatormodulatordemodulatoretc.
Which of these is a common element used in semiconductors?
Slicon (A+) -R.E.M.
Is silicon and germanium used in electronics as semiconductors?
Yes
What are some uses for a semiconductor?
Semiconductors are usually found in electronic appliances, such as radios and computers. Semiconductors are electrically conductive and are used for power.
What three elements that are used in semiconductors?
Silicon is the most common element used in semiconductors due to its abundance and well-understood properties. Germanium is another element used in semiconductors, although less commonly than silicon. Arsenic and phosphorus are often incorporated as dopants to introduce either additional electrons (n-type doping) or electron vacancies (p-type doping) in semiconductors.
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
Substance in between conductors and insulators used in transistors?
Semiconductors
Why do we mostly use indirect semiconductors?
The indirect band gap semiconductors like silicon and germanium are mostly used because they are elemental, plentiful, and easier to process than the direct band gap semiconductors which are alloys or compounds.
