Abstract

Without question, semiconductors represent the most utilized and under-appreciated class of materials in our society. From our cell phones that keep us connected to the world around us, to our vehicles that bring us home from work each day, semiconductor-based computer chips impact virtually every part of our lives. This chapter will describe the types and properties of semiconductors, and applications such as integrated circuits (chips), light-emitting diodes (LEDs), thermoelectrics, and photovoltaics (solar panels). Thin-film deposition techniques such as chemical vapor deposition and atomic layer deposition are also described, as well as advanced patterning techniques such as EUV photolithography.
