history of technology is assessed seriously it shows that technological changes are exponential. Exponential growth is a feature of any evolutionary process and technology is one of its primary example.[1] A new technology would be of interest to semiconductor industry if it addresses fully the problems faced by chip manufacturing companies. There is a need of revolutionary technologies that produce faster and smaller logic and memory‚ reduce fabrication complexity‚ save manufacturing time from days

material. Silicon based semiconductors have become a major part of our society. Of all of the inventions in the last century the silicon semiconductor is arguably one of the most influential. This component has allowed technology to enhance and expand at an astonishing rate. You will find semiconductors at the core of every microchip as well as almost all transistors. Any object that is computerized depends on these semiconductors. Silicon is the basis of these semiconductors and a key component in

1. Barriers to Entry Because of the extremely intricate and sophisticated nature of manufacturing semiconductors‚ a competitor should expect high initial capital requirements to build facilities needed for production. Cost to build a new semiconductor fab has gone up from $200 million in 1985 to $3 Billion in 2004. Incumbent companies have capabilities to design newer generations of semiconductors with greater amounts of memory and processing abilities that make older generations obsolete. Older

Electrical Conductance and Insulation OVERVIEW: Every thing in the world is differentiable on the basis of its electrical conductance. Some things are called insulators and these substances never conduct electricity. they include things such as cold air‚wood and plastic. Then there are things that conduct electricity and current flows through them‚ they are called conductors. examples of conductors are most metals like copper and steel. Other materials that are sometimes used as conductors are

What is Transparent Electronics? Its just Technology for next generation of optoelectronic devices and employs wide band-gap semiconductors for the realization of invisible circuits. Oxide semiconductors are very interesting materials because they combine simultaneously high/low conductivity with high visual transparency. How it works? Transparent oxide semiconductor based transistors have recently been proposed using as active channel intrinsic zinc oxide (ZnO). The main advantage of using

LDR Circuit Diagram: Here is the schematic for the circuit: Light Dependent Resistors Light Dependent Resistors (LDR) are also called photoresistors. They are made of high resistance semiconductor material. When light hits the device‚ the photons give electrons energy. This makes them jump into the conductive band and thereby conduct electricity. A photoresistor or light-dependent resistor (LDR) or photocell is a light-controlled variable resistor. The resistance of a photoresistor decreases
