What is doping process?

It is the addition of impurities to a semi-conductor in order improve their electrical conductivity.


What is extrinsic conductor?

Impure semi conductor material are called extrinsic semi conductor as there a small quantity of foreign particle is present. Two types of impurities are added to an extrinsic semi conductor. When impurities belonging to third group are called as trivalent or acceptor impurities such as boron, aluminum, indium or gallium when these impurities are added in pure semi conductors they form p-type semi conductor. And similarly when impurities belonging to group fifth called as penta valent or donor impurities such as arsenic, antimony, bismuth or phosphorus are added to a semi conductor they form N-type semi conductor .


How can you increase the conductivity of a semi conductor?

The conductivity of a semi-conductor can be increased by raising the temperature of the semi-conductor .


How do you make semi-metals?

Semi-metals, also known as metalloids, are typically made through a process called doping. This involves adding small amounts of impurities to a pure semiconductor material, such as silicon or germanium. The impurities alter the electronic properties of the material, making it exhibit characteristics of both metals and non-metals.


What is the process in which trace amounts of other elements are added to a material to make it a semi conductor?

Doping.


Is copper a conductor insulator or semi conductor?

Copper is a conductor.


How do you increase the conductivity of a semi conductor?

You can increase the conductivity of a semiconductor by doping it with impurities to increase the number of charge carriers (electrons or holes). This can be done by adding elements that provide extra electrons (N-type doping) or by adding elements that create holes (P-type doping). Additionally, raising the temperature can also increase the mobility of the charge carriers, thereby increasing conductivity.


What are semi insulators?

Is silver and gold such as jewelry, are they great semi conductor?

Yes, silver and gold are good semi conductor.


Is sodium a semi conductor?

No, sodium is a metal and is not a semiconductor. Semiconductors are materials that have conductivity between that of a conductor and an insulator. Sodium is a good conductor of electricity due to its metallic properties.
