Types of Semiconductor
Types of semiconductors
1) Intrinsic(pure): A semiconductor
which is extremely pure is called intrinsic semiconductor. In intrinsic
semiconductor two most important semiconductors are Germanium and Silicon
2) Extrinsic(impurity): Certain amount
of desired impurity is added. The process of adding impurity to pure
semiconductor is called Doping
Two type of impurity
1) P-Type semiconductor
2) N-Type semiconductor
P-Type semiconductor
When a small amount of trivalent
impurity is added to the pure semiconductor P-Type is formed
N-Type semiconductor
When a small amount of Pentavalent
impurity added to the Pure semiconductor N-Type formed
