Their properties lie between conductors and insulators. The purpose of semiconductors is to form the basis of integrated circuits (ICs), or semiconductor chips. These chips are essential components of nearly all modern electronic devices. Among them, silicon is the most widely used semiconductor due to its beneficial characteristics. […]
