The introduction of silicon as a semiconductor material significantly improved transistors, especially with the development of silicon-based integrated circuits. Silicon's favorable electronic properties, abundance, and ease of doping with impurities allowed for greater control over electrical conductivity. This advancement led to the miniaturization of electronic components and the proliferation of modern electronics. Additionally, materials like gallium arsenide and more recently, graphene and other 2D materials, have further enhanced transistor performance in specific applications.

Diodes and transistors are made of semiconductor material such as germanium and what?
Silicon
Which electronic has three terminal and is made of semiconductor material?
A transistor is an electronic component that has three terminals and is made of semiconductor material. It is used to amplify or switch electronic signals and power, playing a crucial role in modern electronic devices. Transistors can be found in various configurations, such as bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) and field-effect transistors (FETs).
The processes list by technology to improved material?
a list of processed technologies
Was Germanium used in transistors?
Yes, germanium was the only material used in transistors from when they were invented in 1947 until 1954 when the first successful silicon transistor was made. However the use of germanium still dominated transistors until the silicon mesa transistor was made commercially available by Fairchild Semiconductor in 1958. Development of the silicon planar transistor by Fairchild Semiconductor the next year ultimately made the integrated circuit possible. While almost all transistors today are silicon, there are still uses for germanium transistors so a few types are still made.
Why are npn transistors used more often than pnp transistors?
The primary reason that NPN transistors are used more often than PNP transistors is that they usually operate faster (at higher frequencies) because the mobility of the current carriers in NPN transistors (electrons) is much higher than that of the current carriers in PNP transistors (holes).

What substance is in sand that is used in making transistors?
Silicon is the substance in sand that is used in making transistors. Silicon is used as the raw material for producing the silicon wafers, which are then processed to create the transistors.
How is a silicon transitor made?
Modern silicon transistors are by layering a semi conductor material on top of a conductor material on top of a semi conductor material. Various materials have been tried to improve the effeciency of the transistor. Most transistors these days come as part of an intergrated circuit or IC
