WHAT DOES INTRINSIC SEMICONDUCTOR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Intrinsic semiconductor

An intrinsic semiconductor, also called an undoped semiconductor or i-type semiconductor, is a pure semiconductor without any significant dopant species present. The number of charge carriers is therefore determined by the properties of the material itself instead of the amount of impurities. In intrinsic semiconductors the number of excited electrons and the number of holes are equal: n = p. The electrical conductivity of intrinsic semiconductors can be due to crystallographic defects or electron excitation. In an intrinsic semiconductor the number of electrons in the conduction band is equal to the number of holes in the valence band. An example is Hg 0.8Cd 0.2Te at room temperature. An indirect band gap intrinsic semiconductor is one in which the maximum energy of the valence band occurs at a different k than the minimum energy of the conduction band. Examples include silicon and germanium. A direct band gap intrinsic semiconductor is one where the maximum energy of the valence band occurs at the same k as the minimum energy of the conduction band. Examples include gallium arsenide.

Definition of intrinsic semiconductor in the English dictionary

The definition of intrinsic semiconductor in the dictionary is an almost pure semiconductor to which no impurities have been added and in which the electron and hole densities are equal at thermal equilibrium Also called: i-type semiconductor.
