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.
just ideal. You explained 2 hour lecture in almost 5 minutes, I admire you bro.
That's MIT bro they're known for it
we need this taught in grade school!
Learn the basic concept of Semiconductor, Zener Diode & P-N Junction Diode by the video link given bellow
ruclips.net/video/VAs7cLZ_DHY/видео.html
It is taught in high school in Africa.
Yes
It’s taught in eighth grade science in Oregon.
I"m teaching it in 7th and 8th grade science in Florida
Awesome! After doing my engineering in electronics for 4 years.. now I know wot is a semiconductor :)

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 ))
best vid on this topic I've seen yet! ♥️
Thank you Jamie! You've made this all understandable. As a senior, I'm grateful! Great job!
Agreed! So well explained
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.
Extremely well explained, both in delivery and articulation. Thank you! :-)
Agreed, it is so well explained
0:20 "You probably already know this"
My brain: 'Light go bright then not.'
I've been wondering how semiconductors work and this video makes it really easy to understand, thank you so much! < 3
Excellent demonstration of semiconductor conductivity temperature dependence!
Excellent video, thank you so much. Have been using this with my A-level classes as a clear introduction to semiconductors.
That's good! Congrats
ROCK ON Jamie... You're awesome, the vid was delightfully informative...
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.
Brilliant,please continue with your lecture as much as possible covering all electronics topics
🙂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!
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.
I love the visual representation! ❤
So nice, true
This was very informative. I build computers as a hobby, and this was the best explanation of semi-conductors I've heard.
So nice, true
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
That was perfect. You made me understand an otherwise intimidating subject in a simplified way without talking down to me.
That's good! Congrats
I'm here because my client manufactures semi conductors, and I had no idea about that. Thanks a lot. This video helped a lot.
It is an amazing explanation, definitely

Thanks Jamie!
KSP music ftw :D
Came to the comments for this
Great demonstration for explaining what is "semi-conductor".🤩
Great explanation.
This is the most simple and easy to understand explanation of semiconductors I have ever seen.
It is an amazing explanation, definitely
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
Really like the heating of silicon concept..fantastic practical
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.
That video explanation is really explaning one. Thank you! I liked how you used many different media formats in presentation.
Yeah, thank you, it is amazing!
A slick video ! This is school quality. Most laudable ! Superb !
Hey Jamie , I am very excited to know more about semiconductor after watching your video on semiconductor.
One short video explained everything in detail...
this just was very informative.
I love this video! This is exactly the same explanation that was explained to us during our class. Thank you!
The house is definitely separated
Thanks for your saying
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.
His explanation is top notch hats off to you brother
Great video, and it's awesome to see your passion for this stuff. Making learning fun is priceless.
Agreed, it is so well explained
Thank you so much ❤️
Learning is fun, when you have videos like these.
Amazinggg! It's explained so attractively in a very simple way.
Wow... needed this video before I took that Solid State class years ago 🥲
fantastic... very well explained... i finally found a perfect channel to subscribe for my lesson... Thank you MIT... you're the best...
So nice, true
!
Amazingly Explained. Bravo.
It is an amazing explanation, definitely
This was explained very well. Thank you!
Agreed, it is so well explained
Excellent video for all people to undefrstand what is it. Takes me back to six decades when I first learnt them. Thanks !
This is amazing, I can understand this better thanks to you.
Thanks, Jamie!
MITK12Videos great job! this video has been a big help to my interview prep. thanks :)
This was really clear and insightful. Thank you!
Yeah, thank you, it is amazing!
you make it easy to understand semiconductor.. thanks dude!
Beautifully explained.
Best video I've seen explaining semi conductors. Thanks much.
Agreed, it is so well explained
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.
@@SanjaySingh-oh7hv no it is not possible to build logic gates without transistor
@@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.
Understood semiconductors crystal clear many thanks
My gosh, I just love science
Very very helpful , truly made with love
thanks for the help.
Excellently presented! Thanks for sharing and the very best of luck!
What a beautiful explanation.
OH MY GOSH I GET IT NOW. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
~:~
Very interesting. Good videos from this channel. I hope it takes off.
Finally, I get this. Thanks a lot😀
Amazingly explained! It's fascinating how humans find ways to "make it work".
Video is a absolutely good work....even the universities fail to teach students so nicely.
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.
thank brother
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
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?
i needed this thank you!
Much apperciated
Wow best explanation and real quick!
