半导体物理学是凝聚态物理学的一个重要分支，也是现代微电子器件工艺学的理论核心。
Semiconductor physics is recognized as one of the major areas of condensed matter physics and the core of modern micro-electronics device technology.
上面的图片是普林斯顿物理学家发明的新型“光子固态”的特写镜头，它们是光半导体，而非电子半导体。
The image above is a close-up of a new "photonic solid" invented by Princeton physicists; think of it as a semiconductor of light, rather than electricity.
在20世纪60年代初，物理学家们使用半导体工业中使用的工具来从头开始创建新材料，在原子尺度上一层层地建立它们。
Beginning in the 1960s, physicists were using tools adapted from the semiconductor industry to create new materials from scratch, building them up layer-by-layer at the atomic scale.
