Application of semiconductors

Semiconductors have taken the manufacturing industry by storm. To date, it is impossible to imagine the world without semiconductors. Nearly every electronic gadget that we come across with has semiconductors implanted in them. From television sets, radios, cell phones to gigantic components like aircrafts it is hard to imagine them without semiconductors.

Science and industry is one sector that depends heavily on these devises. In the contemporary laboratories it is very hard to find instruments that are independent of semiconductors. Researchers employ these instruments to obtain measurements, analyze complex data to be able to come up with a solution. Industries install these semiconductor-biased devices in their control systems to render them automatic. Cell phones with abilities to perform automatic functions achieve this courtesy of semiconductors. In rail transport, particularly electric ones, solid-state rectifiers which are basically semiconductors achieve the function of converting massive amounts of power in engines. Among the large scale consumers of solid-state rectifiers include data processing gargets, computers and space devices.

The military sector is, too, another sector that is largely dependent on semiconductors. Entirely all the equipment owned by the military department rely on loads of semiconductors. Many airborne gargets including radars among others are loaded with transistors. Data display systems, data processing units, computers, and aircraft guidance-control assemblies are also good examples of electronic equipment that use semiconductor devices.⁵ With this in mind, it would be irrational to go into specifics because this will form an endless list of applications. This is for the reason that nearly every garget that you encounter cannot miss a semiconductor.
