OpenStudy (kropot72):

The information here should help you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiconductor

OpenStudy (masumanwar):

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

OpenStudy (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?

OpenStudy (paki):

An intrinsic semiconductor material is chemically very pure and possesses poor conductivity.

rvc (rvc):

can u explain me what is hole?

OpenStudy (paki):

a hollow place in a solid body or surface.

rvc (rvc):

i meant hole in semiconductor

rvc (rvc):

valence band and all that

OpenStudy (paki):

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".

@paki

OpenStudy (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

rvc (rvc):

im talking about phy bro

OpenStudy (paki):

please have a look here... http://www.thefreedictionary.com/lattice

rvc (rvc):

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.
