It is advantageous in integrated circuit manufacture that all the semiconductor components are of basically the same type.

Without this, semiconductor components in the circuit could be destroyed.

However, photonic semiconductor components have traditionally been expensive and difficult to manufacture in high volume.

To prevent electrical problems, semiconductor components (especially thyristors) were selected with special regard to quality.

A switching system with major devices constructed of semiconductor components.

Today, most electronic devices use semiconductor components to perform electron control.

Additionally, low-power semiconductor components are necessary to conserve the power used during sleep and/or actual use of the product.

Identifying semiconductor components in systems has become more difficult over the past years.

The lifespan of semiconductor components can be reduced by increased voltages and heat.

With these new semiconductor components, it is possible to "perceive" distance in addition to the common grayscale information directly.
