semiconductor for discrete de-
vices and integrated circuits.
Its combination of low raw
material cost, relatively sim-
ple processing. and a useful
temperature range makes it
currently the best compromise

materials. Germanium (Ge)
was a widely used early semi-
conductor material but its
thermal sensitivity makes it
less useful than silicon.
