Electronic Materials

Electronic materials are at the forefront of materials science and engineering, which refer materials that used in electronics and microelectronics. As the base of electronic products, the quality of electronic materials significantly affects the economic benefits of electronic industry. Moreover, many knowledges, such as electronic technology, physical chemistry, solid state physics and process technology, will be involved when design and preparation of electronic materials. After made into electronic components and integrated circuits, electronic materials should have consistency and stability, which can withstand a variety of harsh environment, such as high temperature and strong impulse force. Furthermore, because the development and production of electronic components is developing towards miniaturization and high integration, electronic materials also need to meet these requirements.

Applications:

Energy and electricity field: Nowadays, the demand for electric energy is increasing day by day. As an important electronic material, superconductor material can be applied in energy and electricity field. Introducing superconductor material can overcome the inherent defects of conventional electric power technology, and will bring great changes to the electric power industry.

The others: Electronic materials can also be used in the electrical industry, infrared detection and the others.

Classification:

There are many kinds of electronic materials. According to the application fields, electronic materials can be divided into superconducting materials, semiconductor materials, piezoelectric materials, electroacoustic materials, and the others.

Superconducting materials: Superconducting materials are those that exhibit zero resistance and repel magnetic field lines at certain low temperatures.
Semiconductor materials: Semiconductor materials are a class of electronic materials with semiconductor properties which can be used to make semiconductor devices and integrated circuits. Semiconductor materials can be classified into inorganic compound semiconductor materials, organic compound semiconductor materials and the others.
Piezoelectric materials: Piezoelectric materials can be divided into inorganic piezoelectric materials and organic piezoelectric materials. Furthermore, inorganic piezoelectric materials include piezoelectric crystals and piezoelectric ceramics. Organic piezoelectric materials, also known as piezoelectric polymers, are flexible, low density, low impedance and high voltage constant.
Electroacoustic materials: Electroacoustic materials can realize the conversion of electricity and sound, using the principle of electromagnetic induction, electrostatic induction or piezoelectric effect.
The others: Electronic materials also include microelectronic materials, electrical materials, ferroelectric materials and the others.
