Semiconductorelectronics - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

This chapter covers the basics of Conductor & Semiconductor materials, Intrinsic & Extrinsic semiconductors, P & N type semiconductors, P-N Junction, Junction diodes, etc. At the end of the chapter, there are multiple questions and answers.

Semiconductors are the materials which have a conductivity between conductors (generally metals) and non-conductors or insulators(such as ceramics). Semiconductors can be compounds such as gallium arsenide or pure elements, such as germanium or silicon. Physics explains the theories, properties and mathematical approach governing semiconductors.
