Semiconductor Devices
Semiconductor devices are electronic components with the electronic properties of semiconductors. Silicon, germanium, gallium arsenide, organic semiconductors are among the most common semiconductors used in these devices. These "semiconductors" are materials that are neither good conductors or good insulators. Due to low cost, reliability, and compactness, semiconductors are used for a wide range of applications. They also have a wide range of current and voltage handling capabilities, contributing to their suitability for a number of operations. They are commonly found in power devices, optical sensors, and light emitters. Perhaps more importantly, they are readily integrated into microelectronic uses as key elements for the majority of electronic systems, including communications, consumer, data-processing, and industrial-control equipment.
