"A semiconductor can be defined in two ways—one, it is a material that conducts electricity as its temperature rises, so it is used for both its conduction properties and insulation properties. Two, this semiconductor material is used as a component of current integrated circuits technology, using the crystalline solid substance within it for its power capabilities.
These miniature semiconductors, which are smaller than a square inch, contain millions of tiny transistors that service the control boards and memory functions of modern electronic appliances like computers, digital devices, car panels, and microwave ovens. Semiconductors are increasingly being used in power and sensor systems in digital security products, speech recognition tools, and renewable electricity sources.‎
