​India Poised to Emerge as a Global Semiconductor Leader

  • The invention of the ‘Transistor: a semiconductor device’ at Bell Labs in California, USA, stands as the most fundamental achievement of the 20th century.
  • Semiconductors, crucial to nearly every modern electronic device, bridge the conductivity gap between conductors like copper and insulators like glass.
  • Examples include silicon, germanium, gallium arsenide, and elements near the “metalloid staircase” on the periodic table.
  • Semiconductor chips contain integrated circuits (ICs) that consist of numerous electronic components, including transistors, diodes, resistors, and capacitors, all fabricated onto a small piece of semiconductor material.
  • Chips serve as the “brains” of electronic devices, performing a wide range of functions such ....
