| In electronics, solid state circuits are those that do not contain vacuum tubes. With the elimination of all the cables needed for the tubes, now communications happens in the silicon tablet with copper conductors rather than over cables. The term was introduced to describe the transition from valve-based amplifiers to transistorized amplifiers. Solid state means that electrons flow through solid semiconductor materials such as Germanium (Ge), Silicon (Si) etc., and not through empty spaces, such as in vacuum tubes. Solid-state components last much longer than their thermionic counterparts because of their greater resistance to shock, vibration and mechanical wear. |

| As the use of vacuum tubes in consumer electronics has decreased (an exception being the CRT, still widely used for TV and desktop computer monitors, although even this use is on the decline), the term "solid state" has been increasingly used as a synonym for "no moving parts". For example, digital audio players that store all their songs in flash memory [like the iPod] are often described as solid state to differentiate them from earlier technology hard disk players. Solid-state has demonstrated high-performance, long life and increased durability and shock resistance. |
