what r semiconductors?
@Mashy @paki @nirmalnema
The information here should help you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiconductor
semiconductors are materials that have properties of conduction between non conductor such as wood and rubber and conductor such as copper and iron and for example is silicon
@paki
A semiconductor is a substance, usually a solid chemical element or compound, that can conduct electricity under some conditions but not others, making it a good medium for the control of electrical current.
what is intrinsic samiconductor?
An intrinsic semiconductor material is chemically very pure and possesses poor conductivity.
can u explain me what is hole?
a hollow place in a solid body or surface.
i meant hole in semiconductor
valence band and all that
An intrinsic semiconductor material is chemically very pure and possesses poor conductivity. It has equal numbers of negative carriers (electrons) and positive carriers (holes). A silicon crystal is different from an insulator because at any temperature above absolute zero temperature, there is a finite probability that an electron in the lattice will be knocked loose from its position, leaving behind an electron deficiency called a "hole".

what is lattice?
@paki
a structure consisting of strips of wood or metal crossed and fastened together with square or diamond-shaped spaces left between, used as a screen or fence or as a support for climbing plants.
what? lol
im talking about phy bro
regular, periodic configuration of points, particles, or objects throughout an area or a space, especially the arrangement of ions or molecules in a crystalline solid. b. The spatial arrangement of fissionable and nonfissionable materials in a nuclear reactor.
