high maintenance. This smaller more reliable transistor replaced the older vacuum tube. (Bellis) Transistors are semi-conductor devices that are used to amplify and switch electronic signals and electrical power. Transistors are composed of a semiconductor material with at least three terminals for connection to an external circuit. Transistors are manufactured in different designs but all have at least the three leads, the base which is responsible for activating the transistor, a collector which

Case 1.1 Intel A. The type of business in which Intel operates is world’s largest semiconductor chip maker. They develop advanced technology, primarily integrated circuits, for industries such as computing and communications. Their Integrated circuits are semiconductor chips etched with interconnected electronic switches. They also develop computing platforms, which we define as integrated hardware and software computing technologies that are designed to provide an optimized solution. They

flow; used in some semiconductor diode circuits. 2. Incoherent Light: Light in which the electric and magnetic fields of photons are completely random in orientation. Incoherent light is typically emitted from light bulbs and LEDs. 3. Laser: Acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. The laser produces a coherent source of light with a narrow beam and a narrow spectral bandwidth (about 2cm). Lasers in fiber optics are usually solid-state semiconductor types. Lasers are

as in a natural semiconductor and the most abundant element. First we can say the most advantage of silicon computer chips is because it’s a semiconductor. Which means when the computer runs it acts more like a conductor. Which is why it keeps temperatures low while it runs the PC or laptop from burning your motherboard. This process is called doping. It’s like saying conductors make it hard to control an electric signal. While insulators block electric signals. Semiconductors can do mostly both

Epitaxial Growth • Epitaxy means the growth of a single crystal film on top of a crystalline substrate. • For most thin film applications (hard and soft coatings, optical coatings, protective coatings) it is of little importance. • However, for semiconductor thin film technology it is crucial. Types of Epitaxy • Homoepitaxy – The film and the substrate are the same material. – Often used in Si on Si growth. – Epitaxially grown layers are purer than the substrate and can be doped independently

results together with a few other researchers under the heading "Breaking News" on Wednesday at the Compound Semiconductor Integrated Circuits Symposium conference in San Diego. Herbert Zirath says that semiconductor materials development has enabled manufacture of circuits that can transmit high frequency signals with sufficiently high power. The circuits, which are made of the semiconductor material indium phosphide, are so small that a microscope is needed to
