"The technology of semiconductor was discovered around 1940's, but it was not widely used until 1970's." (Hong) In these nearly thirty years between, scientists were doing huge amount of researches and analyses about activities upon the atoms and the energy involve. Semiconductors have had a revolutionary impact on science and society. Semiconductor technology and device engineering have developed a symbiotic relationship that connected from the pure physics to the marketplace, and they are now bringing the conveniences to almost every household. This research paper is tended to present the structural phenomena happen in the semiconductor devices; more over, it is to let readers know how American semiconductor industries make effective process on researching. .
In the way of microcosm, we can use the relationship of electron and its energy bands to distinguish differences between conductor, insulators, and semiconductors. Conductors: materials like iron, silver, and copper, the energy bands around the atom are usually overlap; thus their "valence electrons have available continuous distribution of permitted energies" (Beiser). Insulators: materials like diamond, plastic, and glasses, there are forbidden bands that appear because of electrons perfectly fill the valence band and leave off an energy gap in between the two conduction bands in their particle structure. Therefore, the electrons in these materials cannot be emitted freely through their energy levels. Semiconductors: it cannot be found in a pure natural material, it is the combination of two or more elements; because the energy gap "only about 1eV wide"(Beiser) between the two conduction bands is much smaller than the ones in the insulators, it can be increased in conductivity in certain level of energetic strike like increase in light, temperature.
Generally, there are two types of semiconductors: n-type and p-type.

Fig.5 IC chip ]Application of Semiconductors Semiconductors have many applications. ... We saw how the semiconductors industry evolves. ...
The third mitigating factor is one that perhaps encompasses the majority of the employees in the National Semiconductor case. ... The fact that National Semiconductor did not cause a death does not make them a safe company. ... The original resolution in the National Semiconductor case was along these lines. ... This allowed a relatively quick resolution as well as the ideal scenario for National Semiconductor. ... This was pointed out on various occasions as the main reason why National Semiconductor falsified their reports. ...

Communication Issues in the Workplace Issues in Bureaucratic Structures: Economic Orientation Meets Political Orientation Communication Issues in the Workplace As the toxic gas monitoring alarm sounded abruptly, the security department at General Semiconductor initiated the emergency response plan. ... How and Why Reliable Communication Failed In the exercise at General Semiconductor, the inability of the emergency response team to communicate in a timely manner with appropriate personnel may have made the injuries of the victim more severe. ... The radio communication system at Ge...
The result was semiconductors. ... The semiconductor industry has changed the way we live and the way we will live in the future. At ON Semiconductor, where I work, we offer products that can make us smarter, livelonger and make our lives safer. ... Currently the semiconductor industry is in with the worst economic recession in history. ... Overall my life in the semiconductor industry has been happy, in spite of some economic hardships that have occurred. ...
A portion of the light is then absorbed within the semiconductor material in the cell. When the absorbed light is transferred to the various layers of the semiconductor, the transferred energy breaks the bond between electrons and the semiconductor atoms. ...
Germanium was the semiconductor used up to about 1960 when it was replaced by silicon. ... When Silicon, a group 4 element, is doped with a group 5 element it will form an n-type semiconductor. ... If silicon is doped with a group 3 element such as boron it will form a p-type semiconductor. ... This is called a positive hole, and this positive hole is a majority charge carrier in a p-type semiconductor. ... Transistors can be arranged in two ways, n-p-n where a p-type semiconductor is sandwiched by an n-type semiconductor, and in p-n-p an n-type semiconductor is sandwiched by a p-type semicond...
The FET operates by the effects of an electric field on the flow of electrons through a single type of semiconductor material. ... The channel is made of either N-type or P-type semiconductor material; an FET is specified as either an N-channel or P-channel device. ... The current through an FET only has to pass through a single type of semiconductor material. ... FET devices are constructed on a substrate of doped semiconductor material. ...
