About

Semiconductors have electrical properties somewhere between those of insulators and conductors. The use of semiconductor materials in electronic components is not new. Some devices are as old as the electron tube. Two of the most well known semiconductors in use today are the JUNCTION DIODE and TRANSISTOR. These semiconductors fall under a more general heading called solid state devices. A SOLID STATE DEVICE is nothing more than an electronic device that operates when electrons move within a solid piece of semiconductor material. Since the invention of the transistor, solid state devices have been developed and improved at an incredible rate. Great strides have been made in the manufacturing techniques. There is no foreseeable limit to the future of these devices.
