Semiconductor Properties, Types, and Applications in Electronics

Intrinsic Semiconductors: Semiconductors whose electrical properties are due to their own nature, that is, the atoms such as composition (electronic configuration) and its crystal structure.

Extrinsic Semiconductors: Semiconductors in which impurities, either givers or acceptors, are added. The number of electrons and holes (charge carriers that are normally equal in intrinsic semiconductors) are different, so we can talk about majority carriers (electrons or holes).

N-type Extrinsic Semiconductor:

Computer Fundamentals: Components, Operation, and Data Storage

What is a Computer? A computer is an electronic machine used to process digital information. Digital information is expressed in terms of 0 and 1, i.e., in binary numbering.

Basic Operation

  1. We provide input data to the computer in digital format.
  2. The computer processes these inputs according to the program instructions being executed. This is mainly carried out by the microprocessor (CPU), but also involves:
    • RAM: Temporarily storing data and instructions.
    • Graphics Card: With its own processor and RAM.

Earth’s Dynamic Processes: Plate Tectonics and Continental Drift

DYNAMIC EARTH

The Earth is not a static layer of rock but is in continuous transformation.

A) The Earth’s Crust

  • The continental crust has a thickness of 35-40 km, with a varied mineral composition (outer granitic and basaltic layers).
  • Continents extend hundreds of kilometers under the oceans in the so-called continental shelf, ending in a slope called the continental slope.
  • The oceanic crust has a homogeneous thickness of about 7 km, with a basaltic composition and young rocks. It occupies more than
