It is known to everyone what a semiconductor is. It is a crystalline or amorphous solid having distinct electrical characteristics. That is, they are having a high electrical resistance which is higher than other typical resistance materials whereas, much lower resistance than any insulators.

The interesting part is, almost all electronic technology uses semiconductor nowadays. With the most important part being integrated circuit (IC), the devices like laptops, scanners, and cell phones make use of it. With a huge demand for continuously shrinking chip size, the chip manufacturing companies are migrating to new fabrication strategies that help them in producing advanced devices.

Intel (INTC) being the manufacture of semiconductor chips and microprocessors, one can see its name on almost all laptop and personal computer. Even Samsung entered into semiconductor space after acquiring Korea's first local semiconductor firm.
