Solid state

In electronics, solid state circuits are those that do not contain vacuum
tubes. The term was introduced to describe the transition from valve-based
amplifiers to transistorised amplifiers. Solid state components last much
longer than their thermionic counterparts because of their greater
resistance to shock, vibration and mechanical wear.

The term is also used in physics: see solid state physics.
