By comparison, extrinsic semiconductors are composite materials created by treating or infusing intrinsic semiconductors with other elements from the periodic table (more on this below).

Semiconductors are normally classified into intrinsic semiconductors and extrinsic semiconductors depending on its ‘doping status’. In other words, intrinsic semiconductors are ‘pure ...

A semiconductor can be defined as a substance, generally a pure element, such as silicon or germanium, or compounds, such as gallium arsenide or silicon carbide, that can conduct electricity under ...
