Is germanium a conductor of electricity?
Germanium is a semiconductor.
Why germanium semiconductor is used in hall effect experiment not silicon?
germanium low sensitivity
How are N-type semiconductor used in semiconductor diode?
p-type semiconductor is obtained by carrying out a process of doping that is by adding a certain type of atoms to the semiconductor in order to increase the number of the free charge carriers.
What is bulk resistivity?
Bulk resistance is the ohmic resistance of the semiconductor material. The natural resistance of a "P" type or "N" type semiconductor material.
Does germanium conduct heat?
Germanium is a metal that does conduct heat, but does not conduct heat as well as other metals. This makes it a semiconductor.
Why silicon is the more semiconductor than germanium?
Silicon is more semiconductor than Germanium because the characteristics of silicon can be easily modified to obtain either a p-type or n-type material.
How could a n type semiconductor be produced from pure germanium?
just by adding pentavalent kind of material
How do you construct an n type semiconductor?
An n-type semiconductor is formed by doping a pure semiconductor (silicon or germanium, for example) with atoms of a Group V element, typically phosphorus or arsenic. The dopant may be introduced when the crystal is formed or later, by diffusion or ion implantation.
Is germanium a insulator of electricity?
Germanium is a semiconductor
Is germanium a conductor of electricity?
Germanium is a semiconductor.
Is germanium a conductor or an insulator?
neither, germanium is a semiconductor
Why for making an n-type semiconductor silicon or germanium is doped with only fifteenth group element like phosphorus?
in silicon or germanium, the valence shell contain 4 electrons. in order to attain stability, they need 4 more electrons, so we doping it either with trivalent or pentavalent impurities. if we are doping semiconductor with any of these, we call it as an extrinsic semiconductor if we are using pentavalent impurity such as phosphorous, there will be an extra electron,which will go to conduction band. we know electron has negative charge therefore we call it as n-type semiconductor
How is germanium classified?
semiconductor
Can IInd group elements be used with silicon to make P- type semiconductor?
germanium
Give a example of a semiconductor?
Silicon Germanium
What is an n-type semiconductor?
An n-type semiconductor is a type of material that has been doped with impurities to increase the number of free electrons, giving it a negative charge. This excess of electrons allows the material to conduct electricity more easily. N-type semiconductors are commonly used in electronic devices due to their ability to carry current.
Diffrentiate n-type and p-type?
When pentavalent impurity is added to pure semiconductor, it is known as N-Type semiconductor. In N-type semiconductor electrons are majority carriers where as holes are minority carriers. impurities such as Arsenic, antimony are added. When trivalent impurity is added to pure semiconductor, it is know as P-type semiconductor. In P-type semiconductor holes are majority carriers whereas electrons are minority carriers. Impurities such as indium, galium are added.
