Answer: Option 1

A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify and switch electronic signals and electrical power. Semiconductor material (date first used): the metalloids germanium (1947) and silicon (1954) — in amorphous, polycrystalline and mono-crystalline form; the compounds gallium arsenide (1966) and silicon carbide (1997), the alloy silicon-germanium (1989), the allotrope of carbon graphene (research ongoing since 2004), etc.
