The following information is about Semiconductor.

Semiconductor Defined

Semiconductor, a solid material ( Solid State Physics) whose electrical conductivity at room temperature lies between that of a conductor and that of an insulator ( Conduction; Insulation). At high temperatures its conductivity approaches that of a metal, and at low temperatures it acts as an insulator. In a semiconductor there is a limited movement of electrons, depending upon the crystal structure of the material used. Incorporation of certain impurities in a semiconductor enhances its conductive properties. The impurities either add free electrons or create holes (electron deficiencies) in the crystal structures of the host substances by attracting electrons. Thus there are two semiconductor types: the n-type (negative), in which the current carriers (electrons) are negative, and the p-type (positive), in which the positively charged holes move and carry the current. Compounds such as indium antimonide, gallium arsenide, and aluminum phosphide are semiconductors. Semiconductors are used in electronic devices such as computers, Photoelectric Cells, Rectifiers, and Transistors.
