No wonder, semiconductors have influenced the universe beyond anything before they might have thought. While the communications and processing data were still necessary by the people, thanks to the semiconductors all essential tasks were conveniently accomplished and infinitely less time were needed than, for example, during vacuum tubes. The building blocks of the whole electronics and computing sectors are semi-conductive materials. Without integrated circuits (chips) which consist of semiconductor materials, compact, lightweight, high speed and low-energy equipment would not be possible. This essay explores the general history, description and impact of semi-conductors on semi-conductors. Information on the effects of temperature on MOSFET band difference, carrier density, mobility, carrier diffusion and velocity saturation, current density, threshold voltage, leakage current and interconnection resistance are given below.

Silicon can be regarded as the carrier of our knowledge. There have been two revolutions in the development of information (approximately 500 years apart). First of all, the details given by Johan Gutenberg in the other invention of the transistor is open to many. The global knowledge volume is currently doubling per year. We take for granted many things (for example, laptops, Internet and cell phones) without silicon microelectronics. In vehicles, home appliances, equipment and more, computer circuits are also present. Equally important are optoelectronic devices in daily life, such as data transmission fibre optic communication, data storage. The number of transistors in an integrated circuit grew exponentially over time after the beginning of semiconductor electronics. In brief we have summarized the early development of semiconductors and rating. The temperature effects of semiconductors were also explored. With rising temperature, the energy band difference, mobility, threshold voltage and saturation velocity are decreasing. Conductance, carrier density, leaks current and resistance to interconnection rise at higher temperature. On the other side. We have also researched semiconductor applications in basic electrical equipment, telecommunications and wireless networks and finally in the solar industry.
