Outline of semiconductors
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to semiconductors:
Semiconductor – material whose electrical conductivity lies between that of a conductor and an insulator. Semiconductors form the basis of most modern electronics, including transistors, integrated circuits, solar cells, light-emitting diodes, and many other electronic and optoelectronic devices.[1][2]
