Lesson: Semiconductors Physics

Students will be able to

• state what a semiconductor is,
• state how the resistance of common pure semiconductors changes with temperature,
• recall which elements are pure semiconductors,
• state what doping is,
• state what a p-type semiconductor is,
• state what an n-type semiconductor is,
• recall some elements that can be used as dopants for p-type and n-type semiconductors,
• state what a p–n junction is,
• recall that diodes are p–n junctions.
