integrated circuits (ICs)

What is a semiconductor?

A Semiconductor can be represented as a material which has the attributes and capability to conduct a little amount of electric current in a regulated way. The electric energy of a semiconductor can be managed over a broad variety, either permanently or dynamically.

 

Material Applied to Produce Semiconductors

Silicon is the most commonly utilized semiconductor material. Several other materials utilized in producing semiconductor are germanium, gallium arsenide, and silicon carbide.

 

What is a Silicon Wafer?

A wafer is a slice of semiconductor material, typically silicon crystal. These wafers are utilized to make integrated circuits (ICs) and other microdevices. Silicon wafers are readily available in a variance of sizes varying from 25.4 mm (1 inch) to 300 mm (11.8 inches).
