Abstract
It is well known that a semigroup S is a Clifford semigroup if and only if S is a strong semilattice of groups. We have recently extended this important result from semigroups to semirings by showing that a semiring S is a Clifford semiring if and only if S is a strong distributive lattice of skew-rings. In this paper, we introduce the notions of Clifford semidomain and Clifford semifield. Some structure theorems for these semirings are obtained.
