They took pains to impose sanctions only on consumer goods that use semiconductors, or chips, and not on the chips themselves.

The vast majority of photoelectrochemical cells use semiconductors as catalysts.

Photovoltaics is a method of generating electrical power by converting solar radiation into direct current electricity using semiconductors.

The Mayor also pointed out that compressors do not even use semiconductors.

This was one of the first integrated circuits, although using superconductors rather than semiconductors.

The Koranyi Lecture triggered a growing molecular-electronics industry, using biomolecular semiconductors in nanoelectronic circuits.

A related concept is to use semiconductors that generate more than one excited electron per absorbed photon, instead of a single electron at the band edge.

These days, in place of germanium, commercial electronics use silicon-based semiconductors, which are more reliable and more affordable than germanium-based transistors.

In this article, you'll learn what a semiconductor is, how doping works and how a diode can be created using semiconductors.

Devices using semiconductors at first were constructed based on empirical knowledge, but semiconductor theory provided a guide to construction of more capable and reliable devices.
