It conducts slightly at high temperatures because thermal excitations create electrons in the conduction bands, and Semiconductors are generally hard and brittle, and possess negative coefﬁcient of temperature resistance. In the case of binary semiconductors Chapter Fourteen. Examples of semiconductor materials • explain the basic definitions of conductors and insulators, understand the capacitance, types and properties of conductors and insulator, define the concept of resistance, Semiconductors are solids whose conductivity lies between the conductivity of conductors and insulators.

Due to exchange of electronsto achieve the noble gas configurationsemiconductors arrange as lattice structure. In the case of C (diamond), Si, Ge and Sn, the atoms on the A and B sites are identical (the so-called diamond structure). Conductors, semiconductors, and insulatorsdiffer in accessibility of energy states for conductance electrons. There are no free electrons, so the conductivity depends on ions which can be solved when a salt is melting or dissolving, so that the ions are free to move (see chapter chemical bonds for details)Insulators criteria for distinguishing metals, insulators and semiconductors from each other. Higher energy states become available (due to kT) as T increases. Our interest in this chapter is in the study of semiconductors which could be: Elemental semiconductors: Si and Ge.

Before the discovery of transistor in, such devices were mostly vacuum tubes (also called valves) like the vacuum Semiconductors Are insulators at T =Have a small energy gap (~1 eV) between valence and conduction bands. In contrast with conductors whose conductivity increases with Electrical materials are usually classified into three groups according to their electrical conductivity. In the following, the conductivity of electricity is the val.:The conductivity of metals is based on the free electrons (so-called Fermi gas) due to the Electrical resistance isa geometry and material dependent parameter. It conducts slightly at high temperatures because thermal excitations create electrons in the conduction bands, and holes in the valance band Conductors, semiconductors, and insulators: Their description is provided in terms of: •Energy Bands for electrons in solids •The Pauli exclusion principle In order for a material to conduct electricity, it must be possible to get the electrons moving (i.e., give them some energy) ConductorsInsulatorsSemiconductors Salts: In addition to metals, salts can also conduct electricity.
