What else can I help you with?
Semiconductors are also called?
Solid state devices.
Is silicon a semiconductor?
Yes,silicon and germanium are semiconductors.
Which of these is a common element used in semiconductors?
Slicon (A+) -R.E.M.
What are the Characteristics of Direct and indirect band gap semiconductors?
Direct band semconductors are mostly for LEDs. Indirect band semiconductors like Si and Ge are conventional diodes.
What are degenerate and non degenerate semiconductors?
Non degenerate semiconductors are those which: -are lightly doped -have less value of electron and hole concentration -violate Pauli's exclusion principle Degenerate semiconductors are those which: -are highly doped -have high value of electron and hole concentration -follow Pauli's exclusion principle
What class of elements are simiconducters?
Semiconductors are elements belonging to the metalloid group on the periodic table, with properties that lie between those of metals and nonmetals. Silicon and germanium are the most common semiconductors used in electronic devices due to their ability to conduct electricity under certain conditions.
Pentavalent elements are added to intrinsic semiconductors elements to produce what type?
N
What elements are semiconductors?
Silicon and germanium are among the widely used semiconducting elements.
Which group of the periodic table of elements is used to make semiconductors?
Group 14 elements, mainly silicon or germanium are semiconductors. If they are dopped with group 13 elements such as gallium / indium or with group 15 elements such as arsenic / antimony, then the conducting ability increases.
The elements in the Periodic Table which are semiconductors are called?
metalloids
Elements that are intermediate conductors of heat and electricity?
semiconductors
What are p type semiconductors?
P type semiconductors have been doped with trivalent elements, causing them to conduct via "hole" flow. N type semiconductors have been doped with pentavalent elements, causing them to conduct via electron flow.
What is doping in extrinisc semiconductors?
3rd and 5th group elements
Do compound semiconductors behave as intrinsic semiconductors?
No, compound semiconductors do not behave as intrinsic semiconductors because they have different band structures due to the combination of different elements. Compound semiconductors have unique electrical properties that make them suitable for specific applications that require different performance characteristics compared to intrinsic semiconductors.
What are the elements on the stair step line on the periodic table known as?
Metalloids or semiconductors
Are semiconductors noble gases?
No, semiconductors are not noble gases. Semiconductors are a type of material that can conduct electricity under certain conditions, while noble gases are a group of non-reactive elements in the periodic table.
Which class of engineering materials was used and is very prone to brittle failure?
semiconductors
