Semiconductors may best be described
as a group of materials that have the electrical properties of both metals
and non-metals (insulators). Semiconductors are especially important because
varying conditions like temperature and impurity content can easily alter
their conductivity.
Semiconductors form the framework of almost any digital device made today. Silicon, a common raw material used for manufacturing integrated circuits is a very good example of a semiconductor. The study of semiconductors is now so large that comprehensive study of all subject matter relating to it would be almost impossible and impractical via a website. Therefore, it is hoped that this website deals with, or at least refers
to, most of the important aspects of the subject and that it will serve
both as an introduction and as a reference work for those studying and
researching in this field.

Integrated Circuits such as the one shown above are possible because of the extensive knowledge of semiconductors.
