Dear MEL Topic Readers,
What are semiconductors and how are they used?
You probably have heard of microchips or integrated circuits (ICs). But
what are they? Despite the miniature size, just millimeters or so, microchips,
or semiconductors possess a massive amount of processing power by conducting
electronic signals so fast. They are used in nearly any electronic device,
sensor, or machine. You might remember that there was, and still is in some
industries, a global microchip shortage that affected nearly 170 industries, having
affected the production of automobiles, computers, smartphones, pacemakers, automobiles, and many other consumer electronic products. So, semiconductors are
essential parts of today’s electronics-dependent world. Then how do they work and
where are they produced?
Enjoy reading the article and learning what semiconductors are about.
