What is the state of the valence and conduction bands in semiconductors at room temperature?
The valence band is completely filled and the conduction band is partially filled.
Where is the acceptor valence band located in a p-type semiconductor?
The acceptor valence band is close to the valence band of the host crystal.
Options: (a) close to the valence band of the host crystal (b) close to conduction band of the host crystal (c) below the conduction band of the host crystal (d) above the conduction band of the host crystal
when n type is heated, what happens to holes and e
no of both increases equally
relation between no of free e and temp (semiconductor)
n is proportional to T^3/2
photodiode bias
