The degree of electrical conductivity of semiconductors
The degree of electrical conductivity of semiconductors is between that of metal and an insulator. Such materials form the foundation of modern electronic device production. What this means is that they are used in the manufacture of a wide range of electrical devices. The devices range from transistors and diodes to integrated circuits.1
Semiconductor materials have a unique characteristic that makes them indispensable in the manufacture of electrical devices. For example, the materials have the ability to change their level of conductivity with the addition of impurities. There is a specific technique used in the addition of these impurities. The technique is referred to as doping.2 There are a number of techniques used in the production of semiconductors. The techniques include the application of ‘interacting’ phenomena, such as electrical fields or light. Gating techniques are also used in the production of semiconductors. The property of these materials makes it possible to use semiconductors in the development of devices used for a number of electrical purposes. Such purposes include switching, amplifying, and converting energy input from one form to another.
Semiconductor materials are produced with the help of a wide range of technological innovations. In this paper, the author seeks to discuss FinFET technology, one of the scientific techniques that are widely used in the production of semiconductors. The technique is used to produce semiconductors through gating.
