Reviews
Semiconductors have made an enormous impact on 20th century science and technology. This is because components made from semiconductors have very favourable properties such as low energy consumption, compactness, and high reliability, and so they now dominate electronics and radioengineerings. Semiconductors are indispensable for space exploration where the requirements of small size, low weight, and low energy consumption are especially stringent.
