What are examples of semiconductors?
Germenium and silicon are the examples of Semiconductors.
What extrinsic semiconductor is?
Those semiconductors in which some impurity atoms are embedded are known as extrinsic semiconductors.
What is the difference between power semiconductors and semiconductors?
power semiconductorspower semiconductors can drive large currents during forward biassemiconductorsemiconductors drive small currents during forward bias
Are there semiconductors on a Motherboard?
many of them.
Why do we mostly use indirect semiconductors?
The indirect band gap semiconductors like silicon and germanium are mostly used because they are elemental, plentiful, and easier to process than the direct band gap semiconductors which are alloys or compounds.
What are nonmetals that are intermediate conductors of heat and electricity?
Semiconductors
Nonmetals that can conduct heat and electricity under some circumstances are classified as what?
semiconductors.
Is non metal a semi conductor?
No. Nonmetals are generally non-conductors. Metalloids are usually semiconductors.
Are nonmetals semiconductors?
Some are, such as silicon and germanium. Others are non-conductors known as insulators, such as glass.
Do nonmetals tend to be just as good conductors as metal?
No, nonmetals tend to be insulators. Some (e.g. carbon) are poor conductors. Semiconductors (e.g. silicon and germanium) in their pure form are insulators but when doped with the right impurities can conduct as good as metals. This is why they are called semiconductors.
What is the meaning of metalloid?
A metalloid has some properties of both metals and nonmetals, and some, like silicon and germanium are semiconductors.
Do metalloids have characteristics of both metals and nonmetals?
Yes, metalloids used in electronics are called semiconductors.
What types of elements make up the p block?
semiconductors, other nonmetals, halogens, other metals, noble gases
What are the characteristics of semi metal?
Semi-metals (or metalloids) are good semiconductors. They have characteristics of both metals and nonmetals. They also have ranging reactivity levels.
Are metalloids precious metals?
No. They are elements (e.g., arsenic, antimony, or tin) whose properties are intermediate between those of metals and solid nonmetals or semiconductors.
What are elements that show moderate electrical conductivity?
Semiconductors are elements that show moderate electrical conductivity. Metalloids are elements that show properties of both metals and nonmetals.
What are three characteristics of metalliods?
1. Solids at room temperature 2. Less malleable than metals but not as brittle as nonmetals 3. Semiconductors of heat and electricity
