What to Focus On

  • Metals have low resistivity and high conductivity.
  • Semiconductors have intermediate resistivity.
  • Insulators have very high resistivity.

  • Intrinsic semiconductors are pure semiconductors.
  • Si and Ge are elemental semiconductors.
  • A hole is a vacancy with effective positive charge.

  • Ionisation energy is highest for carbon.
  • Ge has the least ionisation energy among C, Si, Ge.
  • Same lattice structure does not mean same electrical behaviour.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Silicon, germanium, carbon, and tin all behave as semiconductors because they are group IV elements.

A smaller donor ionisation energy means the semiconductor has a smaller band gap.

In an n-type semiconductor, holes are also supplied by pentavalent dopant atoms.
