Semiconductors are materials with electrical conductivity between that of conductors and insulators. This unique property makes them fundamental in modern electronics. Semiconductor technology harnesses these materials to create devices like transistors, diodes, and integrated circuits (ICs), forming the backbone of modern electronics. The most common semiconductor material is silicon, due to its abundance and excellent electrical properties. However, other materials like germanium, gallium arsenide, and silicon carbide are also used in specific applications. Semiconductor devices operate by controlling the flow of electric current through them, either allowing or blocking it based on applied voltage or other external factors. Semiconductor technology has revolutionized various industries, enabling the development of computers, smartphones, medical devices, and renewable energy systems, among others. The topics covered in this extensive book deal with the core subjects of semiconductor technology. The aim of this book is to present researches that have transformed this discipline and aided its advancement. This book is an essential guide for both academicians and those who wish to pursue this discipline further.
