Semiconductors may be used to fabricate electronic devices. This is done quite often.
Most of the electronic devices they're used for are called "transistors". Often, several
transistors are combined in a single small device, called an "integrated circuit".
A few examples of where these devices may be found in real life include . . . -- almost every radio in the world
-- almost every TV set in the world
-- almost every landline telephone in the world
-- every TV remote
-- every GPS
-- every CD/DVD player
-- every cellphone and every smartphone in the world.

∙ 8y agoSemiconductors are used to conduct electricity under some conditions but not under other conditions.
We use semiconductors to control the flow of electric current.
It is used like a resistor to slow down the current of electricity.

What kind of semiconductor is produced by adding indium in semiconductor crystals?
it is metal.. so not used for doping.
What is semiconductor die?
it refers to a grow silicon seed that is used to grow the final semiconductors
What is the the term for a semiconductor that is missing electrons?
p-type semiconductor A semiconductor that is missing electrons is called an electron hole.
What is Cypress Semiconductor's motto?
The motto of Cypress Semiconductor is 'Perform'.
What is antimony What is boron?
Elements. Both are some of the elements used as dopants in the making of semiconductor devices.
What is a semiconductor slice?
A semiconductor slice is used to make integrated circuits or ICs. It is also known as a semiconductor wafer or a semiconductor substrate.
Is dye or semiconductor or gas or excimer laser used in laser printers?
Semiconductor laser
Why carbon is not used as semiconductor material?
carbon is not used as the semiconductor because it has larger band gap than silicon and germenium
What semiconductor is used in computers?
Silicon.
What kind of semiconductor is produced by adding indium in semiconductor crystals?

How semiconductors are used in electronic devices?
what is semiconductor state advantages of semiconductor devices over electronic tubes
How are N-type semiconductor used in semiconductor diode?
p-type semiconductor is obtained by carrying out a process of doping that is by adding a certain type of atoms to the semiconductor in order to increase the number of the free charge carriers.
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.
What semiconductor material is used to make transistors?
* silicon * germanium * gallium arsenide * etc.
What is the narrow-band semiconductor?
Narrow-band semiconductor refers to the semiconductor materials with band gap that is relatively smaller than silicon. This is commonly used as thermo-electric or infrared detectors.
What is the most common metalloid used as a semiconductor?
Silicon
What is a sentence for the word semiconductor?
A semiconductor is a material that is neither completely conductive nor completely non-conductive.Semiconductors used in integrated circuits are the basis for modern electronics.(note: the word semiconductor is often informlly used for the IC chips based on this technology)
