Advantages and Disadvantages of Solar Energy

Solar energy is a trending topic of science in recent times. The non-renewable sources of energy are about to extinct due to their limited storage on the Earth. Therefore, alternative sources of energy are needed to fulfill our daily needs of energy. There are some renewable sources of energy like Solar energy, Wind energy, Geothermal … Read more

p type semiconductor material – formation, properties

Earlier we have written on intrinsic and extrinsic semiconductors. There are two types of extrinsic semiconductors – n-type and p-type. We already have discussed n type semiconductor materials in another article. In this article, we are going to discuss p type semiconductor material, its formation, properties, examples and uses. One can differentiate n-type and p-type … Read more

n type semiconductor material – formation, properties

Impurity mixed semiconductors are known as the extrinsic semiconductors. Now, there are two types of extrinsic semiconductors. These are n type and p type semiconductors. They have different properties and the ways of formation are also different. We already have discussed p type semiconductors in another article. In this article, we are going to discuss … Read more

Mobility of electrons and holes in semiconductors

The term mobility in electronics refers to the ability to move. Electrical mobility of an electron in a semiconductor gives the idea of the movement of the electron when the material is placed in an electric field. The mobility of free electrons and holes is not the same. It depends on many factors like the … Read more

Why do we need the doping in semiconductor?

In modern technology, Semiconductor materials have a huge role. Almost all high-speed electronic devices are made of semiconductors. One cannot use a pure semiconductor material to construct those devices. Impure atoms are doped in semiconductors before using them. In this article, we’re going to discuss exactly why we need doping in a semiconductor. Contents in … Read more

How the holes move in a semiconductor?

A semiconductor has two types of charge carriers – free electrons and holes. The motion of electrons in a conductor is well-known to us. One can expect almost a similar motion of electrons in a semiconductor too. But, how do holes move in a semiconductor? In this article, we’re going to discuss what is a … Read more

What are Intrinsic and extrinsic semiconductors?

In the first article, we discussed the basic properties, examples and applications of Semiconductors. All semiconductors are not the same. There are two types of semiconductors – intrinsic and extrinsic semiconductors. Extrinsic semiconductors are divided into two types – n-type and p-type semiconductors. In this article, we’re going to discuss What are Intrinsic and Extrinsic … Read more
