Download Solution PDFSemiconductor:
- Semiconductors are materials which have a conductivity between conductors and insulators.
- Semiconductors are made of compounds such as gallium arsenide or pure elements, such as germanium or silicon.
- Holes and electrons are the types of charge carriers accountable for the flow of current in semiconductors.
- Holes (valence electrons) are the positively charged electric charge carrier whereas electrons are the negatively charged particles.
EXPLANATION:
- The resistance of semiconductor materials decreases with the increase in temperature and vice-versa.
- At absolute zero Kelvin temperature, the covalent bonds are very strong, and there are no free electrons, and the semiconductor behaves as a perfect insulator. Hence, option 3 is correct.
