Concept introduction:
Semiconductors are devices that have conductivity intermediate between conductors and insulators and their conductivity gets enhances when doped.
Doped semiconductors are used in commercialized electronic devices as diodes, transistors, LEDs, photovoltaic cells. They all differ in their functions and that are as follows:
- Diodes convert alternating current to direct current.
- Photovoltaic cells convert sunlight to electricity.
- LEDs act as a light source.
- Transistors amplify an electrical signal in an integrated circuit.

- 8.96 A business manager wants to provide a wider range of p- and n-type semiconductors as a strategy to enhance sales. You are the lead materials engineer assigned to communicate with this manager. How would you explain why there are more ways to build a p-type semiconductor from silicon than there are ways to build an n-type semiconductor from silicon?arrow_forwardRadii were reported as follows: Ti4+ = 60 pm; O2‒ = 140 pm. Based on this, tell as much as youcan about the expected structure of TiO2 – provide the hole type for the cation, the cell lattice,and the coordination numbers for both cation and anion.arrow_forwardCalculate the free electron per atom of metal A. The electrical conductivity of metal A is 6.0 × 10² (N- m)-¹. The number of free electrons per volume of metal A is 1.25x102⁹ m ³. Assume that the density of the metal is 8.9 g/mL and its molar mass is 63.6.arrow_forward
