Source: Wangcai Chip Original Author: Moshij What Is a Semiconductor? A semiconductor is a material with specific electrical properties that allows it to serve as the foundation for computers and other electronic devices. It is typically a solid chemical element or compound that conducts electricity under certain conditions but not under others. This makes it … Read more
Semi-conductor materials can be divided into two categories: elemental semiconductors and compound semiconductors. The former includes semiconductors formed from elements such as silicon (Si) and germanium (Ge), while the latter includes compounds such as gallium arsenide (GaAs), gallium nitride (GaN), and silicon carbide (SiC). In the past, semiconductors have undergone three generations of changes, gallium … Read more
