The crystalline and electronic structures of semiconductors reflect a delicate balance of very large electromagnetic forces, and consequently minute compositional variations or small perturbations can induce large changes in the properties of these materials. for several decades now, research scientists and device designers have exploited his exceptional flexibility to tailor the electronic and optical properties of semiconductors for a variety of fundamental studies and applications. Semiconductor technology has made its most apparent impact, of course, in solid‐state electronics.
