A semiconductor is a material with electrical conductivity between a conductor and an insulator, typically silicon or germanium, used in electronic components.
What is doping in semiconductors?
Doping is the process of adding impurities to intrinsic semiconductors to change their electrical properties.
What are intrinsic semiconductors?
Intrinsic semiconductors are pure semiconductors without any significant dopants.
What is the band gap in semiconductors?
The band gap is the energy difference between the valence band and conduction band in a semiconductor.
How does temperature affect semiconductor conductivity?
Increased temperature provides more energy to electrons, increasing carrier mobility, and thus the conductivity of semiconductors.
