About this document
Types of Semiconductors Explained by okgoogle is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document provides an introduction to semiconductors. It discusses that semiconductors have electrical conductivity between metals and insulators due to having a small forbidden band gap (around 1eV). At absolute zero, semiconductors act as insulators but conductivity increases with temperature as electrons gain energy to cross the band gap. Semiconductors are classified as intrinsic, containing only the base semiconductor material, or extrinsic, which are doped with impurities to increase conductivity
