Semiconductors are the detached class of substances. This type was discovered in early 1980's but there were no needed technologies to perform the further researches. The analysis of semiconductors was carried on only in the 1920's. In 1923 Russian scientists proved the ability of utilizing of semiconductor-metal contacts to accelerate the producing of fluctuations. During several years igct were excluded by tubes. The most considerable event in the history of semiconductor devices was the invention of the first transistor by Bell corporation in 1949. Since then many persons all over the world become interested in such kind of matter as semiconductors.
Stimulated emission is really a very interesting feature of semiconductors that has been researched for several tens of years. By usage of such principles as p - n barriers and heterojunction scientists managed to design laser device in the beginning of the 60's.
