1. In semiconductor receivers transistors take the place of vacuum tubes. 在半导体收音机中晶体管代替了真空管。
2. Instead, semiconductor firms simply squeezed more patents out of existing research and development expenditures. 相反，半导体公司只是从现有的研发支出中榨取更多的专利。
3. The technology of amplifying solar energy can save the number of semiconductor materials required for photovoltaic cells. 通过放大太阳能的技术可以节约光伏电池所需的半导体材料的数量。
4. Studies of the most patent-conscious business of all—the semiconductor industry—suggest that firms do not necessarily become more innovative as they increase their patenting activity. 对所有行业中最具专利意识的行业——半导体行业的研究表明，企业不一定会随着专利申请活动的增加而变得更具创新性。
5. Other semiconductor stocks also moved up. 其他半导体个股纷纷走高。
