INTRODUCTION • What is Semiconductor ? • A semiconductoris a material that behaves in between a conductor and an insulator. • At ambient temperature, it conducts electricity more easily than an insulator, but less readily than a conductor. • At very low temperatures, pure or intrinsic semiconductors behave like insulators. • The addition of impurities to a pure semiconductor can also increase its conductivity.
Current Semiconductors: Traditional Si, Ge, GaAs etc… Impurities: Phosphorous, Boron etc... Application: All electronics devices Microprocessors Various gadgets etc…
Current Semiconductors: • SOI( silicon on Insulator) • Improved version of fabrication process for Si • Addition of SiO2 or sapphire • Improves Performance • Radiative sensitive application • Reduces parasatic capacitance • Drastic increase in substrate cost
Future Trends Carbon Semiconductors: Why carbon semiconductors ? • Electricity can conduct through carbon • Carbon is not used as semiconductor • Size of carbon is very small • Speedy operation • Strong and rugged in construction
