Semiconductors Market Research Reports & Consulting

The electronics industry underwent a revolution in the 1950’s, when silicon, germanium, and gallium arsenide began replacing vacuum tubes in transistors and diodes. Apart from drastically reducing the size and weight of electronic equipment, this also successfully overcame the issue of thermal damage and thus significantly lengthened equipment life. As the cost of manufacturing of semiconductor-based equipment was a fraction of the cost of manufacturing vacuum tube equipment, the world witnessed a sudden surge in the sale of the electronic consumer goods such as radio receivers and TV sets. The semiconductor manufacturing industry has since then grown enormously.
