OF SEMICONDUCTORS
A
semiconductor is a solid which has the energy band similar to that of an
insulator. It acts as an insulator at absolute zero and as a conductor at high
temperatures and in the presence of impurities.
Based
on the purity, semiconductors are classified into the following two types; viz
(i)
Intrinsic semiconductor
(ii)
Extrinsic semiconductor.
