This book provides readers with state-of-the-art knowledge of established and emerging semiconducting materials, their processing, and the fabrication of chips and microprocessors. Applications of semiconductors in electronic devices, chips, and microprocessors are covered in detail, along with the fundamentals of semiconductors and their processing. This book provides the basics and workings of many semiconducting devices and their role in modern electronics. This book also explores emerging semiconductors and their importance in future devices. The future and challenges of many emerging semiconductors are also explored.

Microprocessors have emerged as the unsung champions of modern technology in the 21st century, silently but profoundly influencing nearly every aspect of our existence. These minuscule electronic processors, often referred to as central processing units (CPUs), are at the core of a staggering variety of devices, including smartphones, laptops, industrial apparatus, and space-based equipment. Their function and significance in the modern world are nothing short of revolutionary. A microprocessor is, at its core, a semiconductor device that conducts the fundamental computations and data processing duties that power modern technology. It executes a series of instructions, processes data, and manages the different operations necessary for a device to perform its intended function. This function spans from powering the applications on your smartphone and executing complex algorithms on your laptop to controlling industrial robotics and ensuring the proper operation of essential medical equipment. Microprocessors are, in essence, the digital minds of these devices, responsible for their functionality, performance, and efficiency.

The two types of conventional mainstream semiconductor memory are volatile and non-volatile. The random access memory (RAM) can be either volatile or non-volatile. However, static and dynamic RAM are examples of volatile memories that lose their saved data when the power is turned off. Although they are user-friendly and efficient, data loss is a significant drawback. Non-volatile memory (NVM) will continue to contain the previously recorded data even when the power source is turned off. Thus, in the event of a power outage, NVM does not lose any stored data since read-only memory (ROM) technology serves as the foundation for all commonly used NVMs.

• Provides readers with latest advances in semiconductors.
• Covers diodes, transistors, and other devices using semiconducting materials.
• Covers advances and challenges in semiconductors and their technological applications.
• Discusses fundamentals and characteristics of emerging semiconductors for chip manufacturing.

This book provides directions to scientists, engineers, and researchers in materials engineering and related disciplines to help them better understand the physics, characteristics, and applications of modern semiconductors.
