Semiconductors are materials that have an electrical conductivity falling between a conductor and an insulator. Semiconductors devices are components made out of material that is neither a good conductor nor a good insulator. They are useful because their behaviour can be easily manipulated by the addition of impurities, known as doping. The conductivity of the device can be controlled, by exposure to heat, by introducing an electric or magnetic field, or by mechanical deformation. These devices have wide applications in power devices, light emitters, lasers, and optical sensors due to their reliability and compactness.  The main types of semiconductors and related devices are intrinsic semiconductors and extrinsic semiconductors. Intrinsically, semiconductors are chemically pure semiconductors, that is, free of impurities. The number of holes and electrons is thus determined by the material's properties rather than by impurities. The various products include integrated circuits; memory chips; microprocessors and others that are used by information technology, aerospace & defense, consumer electronics, automotive, healthcare, and other end users.
