Question

Basic materials used in the present solid state electronic devices like diode, transistor, ICs, etc are ______.

Options

• metals

• insulators

• conductors

• Semiconductors

Answer 1

Basic materials used in the present solid state electronic devices like diode, transistor, ICs, etc are semiconductors.

Explanation:

Semiconductors are materials with electrical conductivity between conductors, such as most metals, and nonconductors, such as ceramics, or insulators. Semiconductor material is used to make electrical components as well as electronic devices like transistors and diodes. 

Semiconductors are the essential materials used in today's solid-state electronic devices, such as diodes, transistors, and integrated circuits (ICs).
