Question

What is the Semiconductor Type of element? Give an example?

Expert Solution

explanation

When the voltage is applied between the semiconductor then it allows the moderate amount of current and it is having conductive between conductor and insulator. By adding impurities the conductivity of semiconductor can be changed and this properties are used in various electronics devices.

There are two types of semiconductors:

Intrinsic semiconductors

Extrinsic semiconductors
