Discrete Semiconductors refer to individual semiconductor components that are distinct and separate, as opposed to integrated circuits (ICs). Common discrete semiconductors include transistors, diodes, and thyristors. These components are used to control or regulate electrical current and voltage in electronic circuits. Discrete semiconductors are essential building blocks in electronics and are employed in various applications, such as signal amplification, switching, rectification, and voltage regulation. They provide the foundation for more complex electronic systems and are found in a wide range of consumer and industrial devices.
