Many quality videos like this one is encouraged to be shared in classes for students to seek a deeper and another clearer knowledge of something and it doesn't take a long time to watch to which this is only just below 5min.
This is incredibly insightful for the average person curious about how these principles work, without requiring a background in physics. Excellent video-thank you so much!
Awesome! You have really clarified to me what a semi-conductor is actually. I do wonder why semiconductors are used in electronic devices as you mentioned but don't conduct electricity. But now I know that it conducts electricity when the surrounding temperature is increased to cause the electrons to jump from a ground/lower state to a higher (or excited) state. Also, that conduction can take or take place when the gap between electrons in material from a lower energy state and a higher energy state is small (conductors) or medium (semi-conductors). Thank you once again.
The quality of this video was amazing, it wasn't just high quality but then has minimal information, this was short, very high quality, very informational and interesting. Subscribed on first video
🙂Arit Thanks Sheldon Cooper! Jokes aside, This was very informative, I love how you kept it basic and easy to follow with references. This type of content never gets old! Thanks again!
Awesome video man! Very easy to follow and understand for the average layman! I loved your closing statement also - "No semiconductors, No Information Age."
Well, that's not strictly true. It is possible to build digital computers without transistors or even electronics. So there would not be an information age as we currently enjoy, but digital computers would still be around, just a great deal slower, but still faster than doing math by hand. Eventually semiconductors would have been discovered at some point, just like calculus eventually was invented or discovered (depending on your viewpoint). Alternatively we might be doing computing with biology or chemistry.
@@ritulimbu3570 - Yes it is. You need to read technology history some more. Before the transistor for digital/Boolean logic, there was the vacuum tube (ENIAC used vacuum tubes), and before that there were electromechanical relays (the Atlas computer), and before that, gears (Analytical Engine). Vacuum tubes and relays and gears; all of these can be used to create logic gates. Furthermore the Analytical Engine by Charles Babbage had a Turing complete instruction set, meaning it could in principle compute anything while using wheels, cams, and gears to perform operations.
I am interested to buy semi conductor equities but wanted to understand how it works. Now I understood the functions and the critical need of this device in the world of technology. Thank you
thanks man, i had to rewind and replay few times to instil what you said; and i still feel a bit confused, but your video has helped me visualise the process which makes things easier to understand for me.
Korea's semiconductor industry is leading the growth of Korea's economy such as production, export, and investment. It accounts for 19.4% of Korea's total exports as of 2020, 45% of facility investment, and 9.6% of manufacturing production as of 2019. Korean semiconductors in the global market have maintained the second-largest share of the global semiconductor market since 2013, and the memory semiconductor sector has been ranked first since overtaking Japan in 2001 and the U.S. in 2002 based on its overwhelming technological competitiveness.
As I understand, connecting the metal alligator clips to the silion wafer should create two Schottky diodes in opposite directions and no current should flow. Why does it flow?
Excellent video. I wish you can gone into a little more detail about how transistors are made on a wafer, other than saying that the silicon wafer is covered with a light-sensitive mask, and then removed, leaving a pattern. are you saying that the light sensitive mask itself contains the elements that when deposited on the wafer, become the transistors? Please go into a little more detail about that. Thanks.
Man thank you very much, these 4 minutes made me understand more but also i'm confused now. Do you think you can make another video to explain further more?
Jamie - “If I fill this gap with metal, the light comes on. If I fill this gap with glass, the light makes a buzzing sound.” Me - this is real science right here
Many many thank you broo for Your helpful discussion about semiconductor....no doubt about semiconductor after looking your video... Love from my heart ❣️❣️❣️ From:*Bangladesh (Sylhet). ❣️❣️❣️❣️
just ideal. You explained 2 hour lecture in almost 5 minutes, I admire you bro.
That's MIT bro they're known for it
Best demo of semiconductors basic principles I've ever seen in my life, thank you.
No seriously, thank you, this is a great demo.
You've stolen my words.
Agreed - came here to say this.
Exactly! It is so great
same, im very impressed by the presentation.
we need this taught in grade school!

Nice, now you just have to learn how to spell "what".
Which university did you go to? I knew this from grade 10, in a African high school. lol
*what
Africa has more than 50 countries, dont think it was zimbabwe ))

This guy can be one of the world's greatest tutors. He makes complex stuff simple without undermining the degree of the issue being discussed.
Excellent demonstration of semiconductor conductivity temperature dependence!
