Semiconductors

Semiconductors are materials whose conductivity lies between conductors and insulators and play a decisive role in the development of modern electronics. The electrical conductivity of semiconductors is controlled by applying a voltage. A semiconductor can have the properties of an insulator as well as those of a conductor. Silicon is probably the best-known semiconductor worldwide and still dominates microelectronics production.

Semiconductors are non-conductive at low temperatures. Their conductivity increases as the temperature rises. Semiconductors are used in the manufacture of electronic components such as transistors, diodes and integrated circuits. The importance of semiconductors for current technologies is enormous. As they form the basis for the development of computers, smartphones, tablets, televisions, solar cells and almost all other electronic devices, they are among the key technologies.
