Origin of semiconducting

First recorded in 1780–90; semi- + conduct + -ing ²

Example Sentences

"It has the best properties of a good semiconductor, and a good thermal conductor -- all sorts of good properties in one material. That has never happened in other semiconducting materials."

From Science Daily

"These materials could underpin future quantum circuits, sensors, and low-power cryogenic electronics, all of which need clean interfaces between superconducting and semiconducting regions," he says.

From Science Daily

Their cooling devices are built in a similar way to computer chips, using semiconducting materials to transfer the heat.

From BBC

These semiconducting materials, known as copper oxides, are cheap, abundant and non-toxic, but their performance does not come close to silicon, which dominates the semiconductor market.

From Science Daily

The 2D/3D/2D heterostructures are finely crafted to sit in the sweet spot between conductivity and nonconductivity where semiconducting materials have optimal electric properties for energy storage.
