Physics World: Plasma processing challenges in the era of sub-nanometre-node semiconductor devices
Semiconductor devices can display a range of different useful properties, such as passing current more easily in one direction than the other, showing variable resistance, and having sensitivity to light or heat.
A semiconductor is a substance that can act as a conductor or insulator depending on other factors, enabling it to serve as a foundation for computers and other electronic devices. The term semiconductor is now widely associated with integrated circuits.
semiconductor, any of a class of crystalline solids intermediate in electrical conductivity between a conductor and an insulator. Semiconductors are employed in the manufacture of various kinds of electronic devices, including diodes, transistors, and integrated circuits.
Semiconductor devices are electronic components that use conductors and insulators to control the flow of electric currents. The most popular kind of semiconductor device is the widely used transistor, a small, durable, electronic component that powers most modern electronics.
What is a semiconductor? A semiconductor is a material that falls somewhere on the continuum between conductor and insulator, enabling a controlled flow of electrical current. Manufacturers process semiconductor materials such as silicon and other materials into chips for electronic devices.
