Semiconductor resistor is a resistor body formed in a semiconductor substrate. The first and second conductive terminals are electrically connected to the resistor body at opposite ends.

Why do you use cadmium sulphate in light dependent resistors instead of silicon?

Cadmium sulphide (CdS) has been used since before bulk silicon was available. Besides Silicon is used as a semiconductor for making electronic transistors. Resistors have to be put on it. Cadmium Sulfide is cheap and works fine.


What is the meaning of piezo resistive sensors?

Piezoresistive sensor are the semiconductor sensors who respond to the change in the mechanical strain applied. For example, a p-type region diffused into an n-type base functions as a resistor whose value increases strongly when it is strained, this behaviour is called piezoresistivity. Such resistors are the basis of semiconductor strin gauges, semiconductor diaphragm pressure sensors and semiconductor accelerometers.


What is the term for material that is treated to slow electricity through a circuit without completely inhibiting it?

A resistor or a semiconductor, depending on the design and function. Resistors inhibit current flow, while semiconductors control current flow (transistors are an example of semiconductor devices).

How does temperature effect semiconductors?

Firstly a general rule: Too hot fries anything.(and lesser important: too cold and you get superconduction) Resistors For normal resistors: as temperature increases, the electrical resistance decreases.Though specially made heat sensitive resistors with the opposit effect (for temperature measurements) do exist.


What is monolithic integration?

A monolithic integrated circuit is a collection of interconnected electronic devices (transistors, diodes, resistors and capacitors) all formed on the surface of a single pieceof a semiconductor crystal (usually silicon). "Monolith" means "one rock".


How does a thermometer measure temeperature?

Mercury (the red liquid) is used in many older thermometers because it is the only metal which is liquid at room temperature and expands uniformly as the temperature increase. Thus, as the temperature rises and falls the mercury rises and falls inside of the thermometer and gives us a reading as to what temperature it is. Most electronic thermometers used are called thermo-resistors. These types of thermometers use semiconductors that act as temperature sensitive resistors. The colder it is, the less conductive the semiconductor is. A computer measures the conductivity of the metal and determines the temperature based on the resistance of the semiconductor.
