Electronic circuits and semiconductors have been causing a leap that cannot be ignored. There is no one on the planet who has never used semiconductors before. Electronic systems are enhanced by semiconductors, which are used in communication, computing, healthcare, military technology, transportation, clean energy, and many other fields. A semiconductor, also known as an integrated circuit (IC) or microchip, is made of silicon or germanium and is doped, in which small amounts of other elements are added to alter how electricity flows. During the Internet of Things (IoT) era, where physical devices all over the world will be connected to the internet and seamlessly collect and share data via 5G networks, semiconductors will continue to play a critical role. The toaster might turn on with your smartphone eventually, and your fitness tracker might receive the information. A growing number of devices (or billions) will generate data that will need to be analyzed in data centers. Those semiconductors are made on 12-inch silicon wafers. With the rise of 5G and artificial intelligence, the demand for advanced semiconductors has been increasing. Auto companies typically need semiconductors that are fabricated on silicon wafers of eight inches in diameter. It has been decades since car makers used chips for braking, but in recent years, their reliance on chips has increased as they have added more sophisticated features, such as navigation control, infotainment systems, and collision detection systems. To manage power and heat generated by electric cars, chip demand has also risen. There are seven chapters in this book.
