Best Answer

in an undoped semiconductor, the number of carrier available per unit volume for conduction is the intrinsic carrier concentration. These are the loosley bonded outermost electrons of the parent atom which can be freed at room temperature hence both type of carrier (n and p) are equally present in the specimen.

How intrinsic semiconductor can be made into extrinsic semiconductor?

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.


What is the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic materials?

Intrinsic - A perfect semiconductor (ex: silicon) crystal with no impurities or lattice defects is called an intrinsic semiconductorExtrinsic - an extrinsic material is achieved by introducing impurities into the intrinsic material described above, such as doping silicon with boron atoms, such that the equilibrium carrier concentrations are different from the intrinsic carrier concentration.


Why germanium has less barrier potential than silicon?

germanium has great intrinsic concentration at room temperature,hence conduction is great in germanum compared to silicon, and resistance decreases in germanum and hence built in potentail also less in germanum compared to silicon.built in potential of silicon is 0.7v built in potential of germanum is 0.3v. 1)intrinsic concentration of germanium at room temperature is 2.5*10^13 atoms/cm^3. 2)intrinsic concentration of silicon at room temperature of 300k is 1.5*10^10 atoms/cm^3.

How do you calculate donor concentration in asemiconductor?

if the donor consecration ( nd )is much larger than the intrinsic concentration( ni )then n0=nd when n0 is the thermal equilibrium concentration of free electron so : nopo=ni2 (when p0 is the thermal equilibrium concentration of holes ) po=ni2/nd do some basic math we got nd=ni2/po

Intrinsic


Do compound semiconductors behave as intrinsic semiconductors?

Intrinsic refers to the doping -- intrinsic semiconductors are not doped. Whether compound or not, if they are not doped they are intrinsic.


Is an acid with the molarity of 0.0094 weak or strong and would it be harmful?

For acids, "weak" and "strong" have nothing to do with concentration. They're intrinsic properties of the specific acid. So that part of the question is unanswerable. Whether it would be harmful or not also depends on the acid. Acetic acid at that concentration is very dilute vinegar. Prussic acid at that concentration is highly toxic.
