But unlike old-school mind-melds, this seemingly psychic communication would be computer-mediated. Technologies Fundamental to the Established Order The basis of the semiconductor industry is silicon. One source for silicon is quartz crystal, SiO2. (Atomic number Si 14; O 8 carbon 6 4 valence electrons, as carbon) In metals, only electrons can carry charge; in semiconductors, electrons and absense of electrons (holes) can carry charge. A pure semiconductor is a thermister, which is used as a temperature sensor: an incremental temperature increase increases number of electrons and holes. The most useful semiconductors have precise amounts of contaminants introduced. The most useful semiconductor product is the transistor, which can control circuits. p-n & n-p. Computers are made from millions or even billions of transistors. The technical properties of semiconductors are at the core of the defense industry, and has spawned a vast industrial commercial enterprise, with spill over nto consumer products. Nano technology is making possible much smaller electrical circuits, which in turn will make possible incredible new semiconductor products. [Wikipedia on semiconductors ] Semiconductors - A semiconductor is a material that has electrical conductivity between those of a conductor and an insulator. The conductivity of a semiconductor material can be varied under an external electrical field. Devices made from semiconductor materials are the foundation of modern electronics, including radio, computers, telephones, and many other devices. Semiconductor devices include the transistor, many kinds of diodes including the light-emitting diode, the silicon controlled rectifier, and digital and analog integrated circuits. Solar photovoltaic panels are large semiconductor devices that directly convert light energy into electrical energy. ...

It formed around 1960, once the fabrication of semiconductors became a viable business. It has since grown to be the $213 billion dollar industry it is today The global semiconductor industry is dominated by Taiwan, South Korea, USA, and Japan. Despite experiencing a downfall in the semiconductor market, Japan is still major leader in the industry. The U.S. industry faces challenges to development by some forms of government regulation. The U.S. government regulates exports and certain uses of some types of semiconductors due to their potential dual use in military applications. ...
