Crystalline materials whose electrical behavior can be controlled, the base of transistors, lasers and power electronics. A member belongs here when the cited article describes it as a semiconductor material. The group is one of the groupings under this field in the Technology Atlas, and each member keeps its own entry with its own cited sources and its own place in the field. Its members appear in the Browse By view for the field, so a reader can move from this group to each member entry and to the sources cited there.
