by doping it with p-type impurities: boron, aluminum, gallium, indium; that have 3 valence electrons.
In semiconductor two charge carriers are present i.e holes and electrons.The current is rate of flow of charges.so in ptype semiconductor the current is the sum of current due to holes and electrons.But current due to holes is more compsred to electrons in ptype.
Yes it is. Some of the earliest semiconductor devices were made using it.
The first modern semiconductor diode was made with germanium. These diodes were invented in ww2 for RADAR. But before that semiconductor diodes were made with galena (lead sulfide), copper oxide, and selenium. I have no idea which was "first".
it is made up of semiconductor chip
Semiconductor.
yes
Silicon
Yes, a semiconductor can be made to behave as a conductor or an insulator by controlling the amount of impurities added to it. Adding impurities through a process called doping can change the conductivity of the semiconductor material, making it act like a conductor or an insulator.
Semiconductor lasers are made with laser diodes, with added circuitry to measure and regulate the diode current/output.
at higher values of temperature the intrinsic carrier concentration become comparable to or greater than doping concentration in extrinsic semiconductors. thus majority and minority carrier concentration increases with increase in temperature and it behaves like intrinsic semiconductor.
A photocell is typically made from a semiconductor material such as silicon. When light strikes the semiconductor material, it generates an electric current, making it a key component in light-sensing devices.
A semiconductor can be made by adding atoms of other elements to a pure semiconductor material, such as silicon or germanium. By selectively adding specific impurity atoms (dopants), the conductivity of the semiconductor material can be controlled, making it suitable for use in electronic devices like transistors and diodes.
