Lesson: Pure Semiconductors Physics

Start Practising

In this lesson, we will learn how to describe the electrical bonds in pure semiconductor materials.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

describe the motions of free electrons between atoms in an atomic lattice of a semiconducting element,
relate the abundance of free electrons to vacancies in an atomic lattice of a semiconducting element,
describe the effect of temperature changes and equilibrium temperature on a pure semiconductor,
distinguish between interactions involving valence electrons and other bound electrons.
