Abstract

In this research the application of nanomaterials, nanocomposites reformed in semiconductor and chip sectors by fabricating them resulted in better performance compared to previous studies. These developed materials has resulted in remarkable changes in current technology by applying in electronic devices lead to more efficient and imperceptible. Graphene is also used more often than other materials in high frequency transistors and flexible electronics since it is such a good conductor of electricity and heat. Nanocomposites are also utilized to improve the characteristics of semiconductor parts by mixing nanoparticles with bulk. They are used to improve mechanical, thermal, and electrical performance in thermal interface materials, conductive adhesives and dielectric applications. Metal oxide nanoparticles like ZnO and TiO2 are also used in thin film transistors and sensors to make electronics that are flexible and work well. The metal- based nanocomposites are also used to improve the electrical conductivity and make sure that the performance and transmission of the signals and the functioning of the components are all better. Even if these are good things, problems like making nanoparticles spread evenly and the cost of making them need to be fixed. Researchers are looking for new ways to do it that are cheaper and make the synthesis process easier. The introduction of these high-tech materials not only improves the performance of semiconductor devices today, but it also paves the way for future improvements to the materials. This is why they are so important to the ongoing growth of the industry.
