Intermediate resistivity between conductors and insulators.
They act like insulators due to low thermal agitation.
It decreases, allowing more current to flow.
Intrinsic are pure, while extrinsic are doped with impurities.
It introduces charge carriers to enhance conductivity.
Electrons are the majority carriers.
It has holes as majority carriers due to trivalent doping.
It determines the energy required to generate charge carriers.
Valence electrons are freed, creating holes and free electrons.
A free electron fills a hole, restoring a covalent bond.
It allows current to flow in only one direction.
A region with a shortage of charge carriers.
It decreases the width of the depletion layer.
Higher temperatures increase the generation rate.
Conductivity is proportional to the applied electric field.
It is equal for electrons and holes in pure semiconductors.
Resistance decreases as more charge carriers are generated.
