10 Facts About Semiconductor devices

1.

Semiconductor devices device is an electronic component that relies on the electronic properties of a semiconductor material for its function.

2.

Semiconductor devices are manufactured both as single discrete devices and as integrated circuit chips, which consist of two or more devices—which can number from the hundreds to the billions—manufactured and interconnected on a single semiconductor wafer ( called a substrate).

3.

Semiconductor devices materials are useful because their behavior can be easily manipulated by the deliberate addition of impurities, known as doping.

7.

Semiconductor devices spent most of 1939 trying to grow more pure versions of the crystals.

8.

Semiconductor devices soon found that with higher quality crystals their finicky behaviour went away, but so did their ability to operate as a radio detector.

9.

Semiconductor devices invited several other people to see this crystal, and Walter Brattain immediately realized there was some sort of junction at the crack.

10.

Semiconductor devices secured funding and lab space, and went to work on the problem with Brattain and John Bardeen.
