solid-state

listen to the pronunciation of solid-state
English - English
of, related to, or having the electromagnetic, thermodynamic or structural properties of a solid
based upon semiconductors
consisting of semiconductor materials and components and related devices
consisting of semiconductor materials and components and related devices characteristic of or relating to the physical properties of solid materials especially electromagnetic or thermodynamic or structural properties of crystalline solids
Solid-state electronic equipment is made using transistors or silicon chips, instead of valves or other mechanical parts
a component that has been specifically designed to make a guitar amplifier sound bad Compared to tubes, these devices can have a very long lifespan, which guarantees that your amplifier will retain it's thin, lifeless, and buzzy sound for a long time to come
characteristic of or relating to the physical properties of solid materials especially electromagnetic or thermodynamic or structural properties of crystalline solids
No moving parts As in Rolltronics' solid-state memory in contrast to hard disks with several moving parts Solid-state devices are inherently more durable
Usually implies crystalline semiconductor materials used in the electronics industry
solid-state device
Any device which employs the electric, magnetic or optical properties of a solid, especially of semiconductors
solid-state physics
The branch of physics that studies the properties of materials in the solid state: electrical conduction in crystals of semiconductors and metals; superconductivity; photoconductivity. nnn
solid-state device
Electronic device that operates on the basis of the electric, magnetic, or optical properties of a solid material, especially one that uses a solid crystal in which an orderly three-dimensional arrangement of atoms, ions, or molecules is repeated throughout the entire crystal. Synthetic crystals of elements such as silicon, gallium arsenide, and germanium are used in transistors, rectifiers, and integrated circuits. The first solid-state device was the "cat's whisker" (1906), in which a fine wire was moved across a solid crystal to detect a radio signal. See also semiconductor

solid-state physics
The branch of physics that deals with the physical properties of solid materials, especially the electromagnetic, thermodynamic, and structural properties of crystalline solids. Also called condensed matter physics. Branch of physics concerned with the physical properties of solid materials. It deals with the properties of crystal-lattice arrangements of atoms, and dislocations and defects in the arrangements. These structures are especially important in the study of the conductance of heat and electricity through solid materials
solid state
of, or relating to the physical properties of solid materials, especially electromagnetic, thermodynamic or structural properties of crystalline solids
solid state
of, or relating to semiconductor materials, components and related devices; as distinct from older technologies such as vacuum tubes
solid state
A timepiece with no moving parts All digital watches are 100% solid state Analog watches combine solid state circuits with moving parts
solid state
A device which is able to control current without the use of moving parts or vacuum tubes
solid state
This is a term used often to describe an electronic device which is made up of solid components (no moving parts)
solid state
Pertaining to circuits and components using semiconductors as substrates
solid state
Relating to the properties of solid, usually crystalline, materials including semiconductors Solid state science is often a mixture of physics, and chemistry, and materials science
solid state
a circuit that uses transistors and integrated circuits instead of vacuum tubes
