Unit IV Semiconductors Engineering Physics Dr. Reddy , PhD Website: Page 1 introduction A semiconductor is a material that has a resistivity lies between that of a conductor and an insulator. The conductivity of a semiconductor material can be varied under an external electrical field. Devises made from semiconductor materials are the foundation of modern electronics, including computer, radio, telephones and many other devises. In a metallic conductor, current is carried by the flow of electrons. In Semiconductors , current can be carried by either flow of electrons or flow of holes or both. Germanium and Silicon are the best examples for semiconductor materials. Both are tetravalent ( four valence electrons) and both have diamond crystal structure. At T=0K, the semiconductor acts as insulator.
