What is the process that creates a semiconductor device called?
fabrication, also called fab.
What is meant by intrinsic semiconductor?
Semiconductor in pure form (i.e. without doping) is called intrinsic or i-type semiconductor. The no of charge carrier in this case is determined by the materials itself only and not by the impurities. In an intrinsic semiconductor number of excited free electron is equal to the number of holes.
Small quantities of material added to semiconductor to increase electrical conduction?
are called dopants
When was ON Semiconductor created?
ON Semiconductor was created in 1999.
What does recombination in semiconductor mean?
combination of two semiconductor
What is the term for a semiconductor that is missing electronic?
p-type semiconductor A semiconductor that is missing electrons is called an electron hole.
What is the the term for a semiconductor that is missing electrons?
p-type semiconductor A semiconductor that is missing electrons is called an electron hole.
What is the term for a semiconductor that is missing electrons?
p-type semiconductor A semiconductor that is missing electrons is called an electron hole.
What is a compensated semiconductor?
compensated semiconductor...SEMICONDUCTORS WHICH CONTAIN BOTH DONOR AND ACCEPTOR DOPANT ATOMS IN SAME REGION IS CALLED COMPENSATED SEMICONDUCTOR.
Valence electron conductor also can be called?
A Semiconductor
Is silicon a extrinsic or intrinsic semiconductor?
silicon is intrinsic semiconductor until we add some impurities in it. the impurities are either of group 3 called acceptors which make p type or of group 5 called donors which make n type semiconductor.
What is the process that creates a semiconductor device called?
fabrication, also called fab.
Silicon atoms combine into an orderly pattern What is it called?
semiconductor
Materials that are not good conductors or and not good insulators are called?
Semiconductor
Why are metalloids called semi conducutors?
Metalloid is not equivalent to semiconductor !
What is a substance that carries electricity under certain circumstances but not under other circumstances called?
A substance that carries electricity under certain circumstances but not under others is called a semiconductor.
