Semiconductors are materials which have an electrical conductivity falling between conductor and an insulator. Semiconductor devices are the components made out of material which is neither a good conductor nor a good insulator material and are useful because their behavior can be easily manipulated by the addition of impurities, known as doping. Conductivity of the device can be controlled, by exposure to heat, introducing electric or magnetic field or by the 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. The global semiconductor and related devices market size is expected to grow from $474.88 billion in 2021 to $497.76 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8%.The growth in the market is mainly due to the companies rearranging their operations and recovering from the COVID-19 impact, which had earlier led to restrictive containment measures involving social distancing, remote working, and the closure of commercial activities that resulted in operational challenges.

A rapid increase in energy consumption of microprocessors in wireless networks has been recognized as a major threat for environmental protection and sustainable development. Due to access to the high-speed internet provided by the next generation wireless networks and increased smartphone usage, the requirement for global access to data has risen sharply, triggering a dramatic expansion of network infrastructures and escalating energy demand. To meet these challenges green evolution has become an urgent priority for wireless network service providers and microprocessor manufacturing companies. Companies nowadays are investing in research and development for innovative and efficient microprocessors. Emergence of energy efficient and high-performance processors is trending in the microprocessor market. For instance, in September 2 020, Intel launched 11th Gen Intel® Core™ processors with Intel® Iris® Xe graphics for thin laptops to create 2.7x faster content creation, more than 20% faster office productivity and more than 2x faster gaming plus streaming. In 2019, Intel Corporation, an American IT and microprocessor company, acquired Israel based AI chip processor, Habana Labs Ltd for $2 billion. With this acquisition, Intel Corporation aimed to expand its artificial intelligence portfolio and strategies to strengthen its AI chip market. Habana Lab is an Israel based artificial intelligence processor startup company engaged in the development of AI inference processor providing efficient inference performance, reduces cost, and at real-time latency in highly competitive power.
