Intrinsic Semiconductor A semiconductor is called intrinsic when it’s impurities content is less than one part impurity in 100 million parts. Most commonly used semiconductor are silicon and germanium. In figure there are four electron in the outermost orbit. Each of the four valance electron takes part in forming covalent bond with the four nearer […]

Intrinsic semiconductor have small conductivity at room temperature. So we didn’t use intrinsic semiconductor. By adding some amount of impurity atom to a intrinsic semiconductor we can change the conductivity of intrinsic semiconductor. The process of adding impurity atom to intrinsic semiconductor is known as doping. In doping one atom of impurity is added per
A semiconductor which is in pure form is known as intrinsic semiconductor. A semiconductor is called intrinsic when it’s impurities content is less than one part impurity in 100 million parts. Most commonly used semiconductor are silicon and germanium. In figure there are four electron in the outermost orbit. Each of the four valance electron
