Hey, Want to share with you guys, useful information. For the manufacturing of a semiconductor like a diode or transistor, you need a wafer(substrate). These substrates are made up of either Silicon or Germanium with respective dopants. Suggest you visit this website for more information - http://www.monocrystal.com/catalog/sapphire/

Thanks for sharing! It’s always good to get a deeper understanding of how semiconductors are made. Silicon and Germanium wafers are indeed the foundation for creating components like diodes and transistors. The doping process adds the right amount of impurities to alter the electrical properties of the semiconductor, which is crucial for their function. I’ll definitely check out the website for more details—always interested in learning more about the tech behind these devices! https://bringermedia.com/
