Semiconductor device

A semiconductor device is an electronic component made from materials like silicon that can control the flow of electricity. Its ability to switch between conducting electricity and blocking it makes it essential in electronics. These devices form the building blocks of many technologies, including computers, smartphones, and solar panels. Semiconductors can be manipulated through processes like doping to create different electrical properties, enabling them to act as switches, amplifiers, or sensors. Their versatility and efficiency are fundamental to modern electronic innovations, making them a crucial part of everyday technology.
