What are some practical uses of semiconductors?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Semiconductors are used in a wide range of practical applications, including electronic devices such as computers, smartphones, and televisions. They are also used in photovoltaic cells for solar panels, in sensors for various industries, and in transistors for amplifying and switching electronic signals. Additionally, semiconductors are used in medical devices, such as MRI machines and pacemakers.
