Intrinsic Semi Conductors Intrinsic semiconductors are composed of only one kind of material. Silicon and germanium are two examples. They are also called "undoped semiconductors" or "i-type semiconductors". Extrinsic Semi Conductors Extrinsic semiconductors are made of intrinsic semiconductors that have had other substances added to them to alter their properties (they have been doped with another element). There are two types of extrinsic semiconductors: p-type (p for positive: a hole has

What is Semiconductor A semiconductor is a solid whose electrical conductivity can be controlled over a wide range‚ either permanently or dynamically. Semiconductors are tremendously important technologically and economically. Silicon is the most commercially important semiconductor‚ though dozens of others are important as well. 1.2 What is Semiconductor Industry The semiconductor industry is the collection of business firms engaged in the design and fabrication of semiconductor devices

Chips with everything Dicken (2010) discusses in his book‚ in the last four decades the semiconductor has emerged as the dominant influence and has effected into all branches‚ and almost all of our daily life. But we are not usually aware of its existence. Dicken (2010) explains further when a number of transistors connected together on a single piece‚ so called an integrated circuit first introduced in 1950s for the computerized functional purposes‚ it had taken a whole roomful of valve computer

Semiconductors are either solid or liquid material‚ able to conduct electricity at room temperature more readily than an insulator‚ but less easily than a metal. Electrical conductivity‚ which is the ability to conduct electrical current under the application of a voltage‚ has one of the widest ranges of values of any physical property of matter. Such metals as copper‚ silver‚ and aluminum are excellent conductors‚ but such insulators as diamond and glass are very poor conductors. At low temperatures

A study INTRODUCTION The semiconductor industry lives - and dies - by simple creed: smaller‚ faster and cheaper. The benefit of being tiny is pretty simple: finer lines mean more transistors can be packed onto the same chip. The more transistors on a chip‚ the faster it can do its work. Thanks in

follow-up product to my silicon semiconductor would be to specialize in microelectronic packaging. My product would be used primarily in high reliability components that undergo complete testing and screening to Aerospace specifications. I would use source control drawings to further refine these standards to specific product processing specifications demanded by unique system designs. Microelectronic packaging is the custom packaging and encapsulation of a desired semiconductor or microcircuit in high reliability
