Semi-conductor is a material in which the energy band gap between the conduction band and valance energy band is very less (around 1V) which is in between conductors and insulators
So, with just a an excitation energy of around 1v changes the state of semi-conductor to wither conductor or insulator .
What else can I help you with?
What type of material is a photocell made from?
A photocell is typically made from a semiconductor material such as silicon. When light strikes the semiconductor material, it generates an electric current, making it a key component in light-sensing devices.
How can semiconductor material be made to become either a conductor or an insulator?
Semiconductor material can be made to become a conductor by doping it with impurities that introduce extra charge carriers. This increases the material's conductivity. On the other hand, to turn semiconductor material into an insulator, it can be cooled to very low temperatures to reduce the thermal energy of the charge carriers, effectively halting conductivity.
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.
Why carbon is not used as semiconductor material?
Carbon has unique properties that make it challenging to use as a semiconductor material. It can exist in multiple structures (diamond, graphite, etc.) with varying electrical properties, making it difficult to control and predict its behavior as a semiconductor. Additionally, fabricating carbon-based semiconductor devices is technologically complex and expensive compared to traditional semiconductor materials like silicon.
What is the principle of semiconductor laser?
Semiconductor lasers are diodes which are electrically pumped. Recombination of electrons and holes created by the applied current introduces optical gain. Reflection from the ends of the crystal form an optical resonator, although the resonator can be external to the semiconductor in some designs.
