SEMICONDUCTOR
Meaning of Semiconductor
Neither a conductor nor an insulator but
rather halfway in between the two.
The resistive properties of a semiconductor
can be varied between those a conductor
and those of an insulator.
Three most commonly used
semiconductor materials are silicon (Si),
Germanium (Ge) and Carbon (C).
Si and Ge widely used in the production of
solid state components.
Atomic structure of (a) silicon; (b) germanium; and (c) gallium and arsenic.
To find Id
Id=I2-I1
= 3.32mA- 0.212mA
= 3.11mA
