Extrinsic Silicon: Energy bands in intrinsic and extrinsic silicon are altered by doping; adding donor atoms creates n-type silicon, while acceptor atoms create p-type silicon, shifting the Fermi level. Silicon is defined as asemiconductorwith fewer free electrons than aconductorbut more than anins...
The no. of electrons for each unit volume within the conduction bands otherwise the no. of holes for each unit volume within the valence band is known as carrier concentration in an intrinsic semiconductor. Similarly, electron carrier concentration can be defined as the no. of electrons for each...

An 'Energy Band Diagram' is a graphical representation in semiconductor physics that illustrates the allowed and disallowed bands of energy in a crystal lattice. It shows the energy levels of electrons in the valence band and conduction band, determining the conductivity properties of the material. ...
Another widely used representation of semiconductor bands is shown in Figure 2.5(a) and b. Here the energy (E) of electron states is plotted as a function of the magnitude and direction of the electron momentum, or equivalently, versus wave vector (k). The resultant parabola-like E vs k ...
In some cases, the Fermi energy lies somewhere in a large band gap (with a width of e.g. above 4 eV), so that all bands below that energy are completely filled, while all higher-lying bands are completely empty, except for some thermal excitation which is negligibly unless at high te...
The lattice defects resulted in two changes in the energy band structure of the monocrystalline silicon as follows: (1) The band gap was reduced. The conduction and valance bands evidently moved toward the Fermi level because of the existence of atomic vacancy and dislocation defects. The band ...
In intrinsic semiconductors (for instance, pure germanium and silicon) the local levels are absent; however electrical conductivity appears because of the narrowness of the forbidden gap and at moderately high temperature an excitation of electrons from the valence band directly to the conduction band ...
