Advantages of Semiconductor
Here are some advantages of a semiconductor:
- Miniaturization: Semiconductors are used in extremely small devices such as microprocessors and chips. They allows miniaturization in so that the devices which took a lot of space, with help of semiconductors can be made in small sizes.
- Energy Efficiency: As compared to other materials semiconductor is an energy efficient device. They consume lower energy compared to other materials while the electronic operations are performed.
- Light Emission: Certain semiconductor have the property to emit light when the electric current is passed through them. This made the LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) possible and also the laser diodes.
- High Switching Speed: The switching speed in semiconductors in comparatively very high which allows fast switching in devices. This is important property because it saves time and lowers the complexity and also allows them to perform fast digital operations.
- Formation of IC: Integrated circuits (ICs) can incorporate millions of semiconductor devices on a single chip, leading to complex functionalities in a compact form.
Semiconductors
A Semiconductor is a kind of material that performs conductivity between conductors and insulators and has a conductivity value that lies between the conductor and an insulator.
