Semiconductor Physics and Flat Band Potential Semiconductors are materials with electrical properties that lie between those of conductors and insulators. In semiconductors, valence electrons occupy ...

LEDs are another semiconductor application that relies on the band gap, but for LEDs the band gap plays a role both functional and aesthetic. When a particle or material absorbs energy ...

Energy band structures of metal and insulator, Definition of semiconductor, Electrons and holes, and Effective mass. In this module, we will cover carrier statistics. Topics include Currents in ...

It all comes down to the bandgap. Electrons in a semiconductor can sit in one of two energy bands – the valence band, or the conducting band. To jump from the valence band to the conducting band ...
