What Is A Semiconductor?

[@Noob123hd]

just ideal. You explained 2 hour lecture in almost 5 minutes, I admire you bro.

[@sumeetpawar-xe2iq]

That's MIT bro they're known for it

[@oson3061]

we need this taught in grade school!

[@souvikkundu7108]

[@maksteve5451]

It is taught in high school in Africa.

[@sudhirjangir1156]

Yes

[@mariannehart4021]

It’s taught in eighth grade science in Oregon.

[@TheDumpbin]

I"m teaching it in 7th and 8th grade science in Florida

[@Thrax005]

Best demo of semiconductors basic principles I've ever seen in my life, thank you. No seriously, thank you, this is a great demo.

[@julianjawadahmad1006]

You've stolen my words.

[@kiranjaybabla8925]

Agreed - came here to say this.

[@meetoptics]

Exactly! It is so great

[@DontTakeCrack]

same, im very impressed by the presentation.

[@rogerhu9047]

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.

[@serene9532]

best vid on this topic I've seen yet! ♥️

[@desireerose2861]

Thank you Jamie! You've made this all understandable. As a senior, I'm grateful! Great job!

[@meetoptics]

Agreed! So well explained

[@samirdiss7433]

Extremely well explained, both in delivery and articulation. Thank you! :-)

[@meetoptics]

Agreed, it is so well explained

[@karhukivi]

Excellent demonstration of semiconductor conductivity temperature dependence!

[@rajivraghu9857]

Awesome! After doing my engineering in electronics for 4 years.. now I know wot is a semiconductor :)

[@declan5647]

Nice, now you just have to learn how to spell "what".

[@erikaandromede4253]

Which university did you go to? I knew this from grade 10, in a African high school. lol

[@luongmaihunggia]

*what

[@philippplein9109]

Africa has more than 50 countries, dont think it was zimbabwe ))

[@where0is0my0mind]

Excellent video, thank you so much. Have been using this with my A-level classes as a clear introduction to semiconductors.

[@meetoptics]

That's good! Congrats

[@nschultz417]

I've been wondering how semiconductors work and this video makes it really easy to understand, thank you so much! < 3

[@ifeanyichukwuidoko6599]

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.

[@heretoshare612]

ROCK ON Jamie... You're awesome, the vid was delightfully informative...

[@justins7796]

0:20 "You probably already know this" My brain: 'Light go bright then not.'

[@stancnet]

Thanks Jamie!

[@acidwizard6528]

This was very informative. I build computers as a hobby, and this was the best explanation of semi-conductors I've heard.

[@meetoptics]

So nice, true

[@parkerhollingsed1192]

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

[@VBsemi-MOSFET]

Semiconductors are truly amazing products that are closely related to everyone's lives。

[@marainarie]

I love the visual representation! ❤

[@meetoptics]

So nice, true

[@asmnazmuzzaman1703]

Really like the heating of silicon concept..fantastic practical

[@rabisou]

Brilliant,please continue with your lecture as much as possible covering all electronics topics

[@sadvikgowda6474]

Great explanation.

[@fidelisfugeti2348]

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.

[@uttamkumbhar8106]

Thanks a lot.

[@karishmamishu]

I'm here because my client manufactures semi conductors, and I had no idea about that. Thanks a lot. This video helped a lot.

[@meetoptics]

It is an amazing explanation, definitely

🙂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!

[@naemnaem604]

you make it easy to understand semiconductor.. thanks dude!

[@guptachirag571]

Hey Jamie , I am very excited to know more about semiconductor after watching your video on semiconductor.

[@edithengleman3420]

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

[@yogeshdev3917]

Beautifully explained.

[@fastak1210]

[@meetoptics]

Agreed, it is so well explained

[@thinktalk9250]

Understood semiconductors crystal clear many thanks

[@maskedmarvyl4774]

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.

[@CountryBoyShane]

This is the most simple and easy to understand explanation of semiconductors I have ever seen.

[@meetoptics]

[@chrisconnolly8745]

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.

[@empty7488]

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?

[@visortoy]

Great demonstration for explaining what is "semi-conductor".🤩

[@tjkade127]

Great demo

[@bsujoeleonard]

Awesome video man! Very easy to follow and understand for the average layman! I loved your closing statement also - "No semiconductors, No Information Age."

[@SanjaySingh-oh7hv]

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.

[@ritulimbu3570]

@@SanjaySingh-oh7hv no it is not possible to build logic gates without transistor

[@SanjaySingh-oh7hv]

@@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.

[@dannythorpe1425]

wish you were my teacher man, quiz a teacher on this stuff and referred to books that couldn't hold my attention. keep it up im learning!

[@deathstrider6837]

Thank you for the well made video! It helped me a lot!!!
