Type of solids and Crystal Lattices of Semiconductor
Type of solids Crystal Lattices Introduction The present age is being called the age of electronics.To be more precise, it can be callde the age of semiconductor electronics.From individual discreet devices to very large scale intregrated circuit, the progress in semiconductor technology has been stupendous.why do semiconductors behave the way they do is the topic of discussion in the chapter. Semiconductor Materials Semiconductors com[rise a group of materials that have their electrical conductivities lying between metals and insulators.Furthermore, their conductivities can be modified by introducing controlled amounts of desirable impurities.Optical excitation and temperature also affect their electrical conductivity.Semiconductors are two types,namely,elemental semiconductors and compound semiconductor. Type of solids there three types of solids depending upon the arrangment of the constituent atoms.the three types of crystalline/single, polycrystalline, and...
