In this video, Semiconductors and Its Types have been explained with examples

Semiconductor materials like Silicon and Germanium are widely used in almost all electronic devices, Their controlled conduction capability makes them ideal to be used in making electronic devices like diodes, transistors, integrated circuits and etc.

In terms of conductivity, the conductivity of the semiconductor materials is in between the conductor and insulator.

The electrons in the outermost orbit of an atom determine the electrical property of an element
Conductors have less than 4 valance electrons,
Semiconductors have 4 Valance electrons,
Insulators have 8 Valance electrons.

There are two types of charges which contribute to the flow of current in semiconductors
1) Electrons
2) Holes

By adding the external impurities, the conductivity of a semiconductor can be changed. the concentration of electrons and holes can be controlled.

The semiconductors can be classified into two categories
1) Intrinsic Semiconductor
2) Extrinsic Semiconductor

Intrinsic semiconductor:  No external impurities are added. the concentration of holes and electrons is equal at the given temperature.

Extrinsic semiconductor: Exernal impurities are added and depending on the type of external impurity, the extrinsic semiconductor can be classified as
1) P-type semiconductor
2) N-type semiconductor

P-type semiconductor:
Trivalent impurities like Boron, Aluminum, and Gallium are added to pure semiconductor to generate excessive holes. So Holes are majority carriers and Electrons are minority carriers.

N-type semiconductor:
Pentavalent atoms like arsenic, antimony and phosphorous are added to pure semiconductor to  generated excessive electrons. So Electrons are majority carriers and Holes are minority carreiers.

This video will be helpful to all the students of science and engineering in understanding the basics of the semiconductor.
