Do you know that there are many different types and functions of semiconductors?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Different types of semiconductors have different characteristics that perform computational functions, store data, control power, and convert light into electrical signals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the semiconductors used vary depending on the electronic device, let us explain in detail what functions the semiconductors themselves perform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

discrete semiconductor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Semiconductors that have become a single function in a single element.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The single function with no complexity has already been standardized to a defined specification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example includes transistors and thermistors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"transistor\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

opto semiconductor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Opto semiconductors convert electricity into light and light into electricity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, LEDs used for lighting and signaling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Infrared LEDs are used in remote controls for air conditioners and televisions, laser diodes for writing CDs and DVDs, as well as in automatic door open\/close switches and solar panels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optical semiconductors thus provide a visible representation of invisible electricity to the human eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

sensor semiconductors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Semiconductors on detection
Sensors include temperature, light, color, pressure, magnetism, speed, acceleration and many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These information from the outside world are detected and converted into electrical signals, which are then controlled and processed based on the information obtained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

logic semiconductor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These semiconductors perform control, processing, and arithmetic operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CPU<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The CPU is a typical device that makes up a computer, along with memory and HDD\/SSD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also known as: processor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is always installed in a personal computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The computer receives data from the mouse, keyboard, hard disk, memory and peripherals and is responsible for control and calculation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GPU<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Semiconductors that perform the computational processes required for rendering 3D graphics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are connected to high-speed video memory and mounted on a graphics board, which is a collection of many processors specializing in rendering graphics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

memory semiconductor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Memory semiconductors are used as storage elements to electrically store and accumulate information and are available in various types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DRAM<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is used in computer memory and is also widely used in consumer electronics (especially digital appliances).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, when notifications such as LINE are received while watching a video on a PC, this semi-conductor fulfils the function whereby the main unit remembers and displays the chat tool data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They remember it on the backside while they are working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

flash memory<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is possible to electrically erase information in batches or blocks and write new, updated information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are effective for data storage and specialize in retaining and not erasing data even when electricity is not connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typical examples are USB memory sticks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The types and characteristics of semiconductors were introduced in this report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each semiconductor has its own function, which depends on the electronics used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope that this report will make semiconductors more familiar to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
