Applications of Semiconductor
Semiconductor materials are very useful in our everyday live below are some common examples-
- Computers: The chips and microprocessors which are called the core of computer are made of of semiconductors. These are the parts which helps the computers in processing data. Complex operations are not possible without these chips.
- Use in electronic devices: Basic electronic devices which we use such as Switches, electric circuits, diodes, transistors are made using semiconductors
- Light-emitting diodes (LEDs): LEDs are used in home for lightning these are semiconductor devices which produce light when current is passed through them. LEDs are used in everyday lighting applications, including energy-efficient bulbs for homes and offices, as well as in traffic signals, vehicle headlights, and electronic displays.
- Wearable Technology: The wearable devices such as smart watches now in latest smart rings have been built they are only possible using semiconductor technology. Because in them microprocessor chips are used which can be made using semiconductors
- Home Automation: Semiconductors are a crucial part of home automation systems, allowing for smart home devices like smart thermostats, smart lighting, smart security cameras, and voice-activated virtual assistants.
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.
