Woah woah woah slow down. What even are semiconductors?They're the materials that transistors are made from. Transistor are the little guys that power your phone and laptop, and are the little guys that sent man to the moon. If you read my previous post you'll know the interesting story of how semiconductors came about. Today however I want to talk about doping Doping? You mean like... drug doping??Actually, you can kind of put it that way if you want, I'll explain why but first we need to start off with the basics. Silicon bonds like this and forms a 'square' lattice. Read more to learn about the technology behind every single one of your electronic devices...

But firstly, what even are they?Semiconductors are basically a class of materials that have a level of conductivity between conductors and insulators, hence the name. They form the core of most modern electronics, including transistors which are 'powering' the device you're looking at this article on. Read more for the whole story... |
