Types of Semiconductors

841
Intrinsic semiconductors are highly pure materials with no impurities. At absolute zero, these semiconductors behave as perfect insulators because all the valence electrons are bound, and the conduction band is empty, disallowing electrical conduction. The Fermi level is a concept used to describe the probability of occupancy of energy levels by electrons at thermal equilibrium. In intrinsic semiconductors, the Fermi level is positioned at the midpoint of the energy gap at absolute zero. When...

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of an n-type semiconducting biomaterial using amorphous kenaf cellulose fibre (AKCF) paper.
  • Characterization of voltage-controlled negative resistance and AC wave generation.
  • Analysis of the switching effect and resistance change at a specific temperature and electric field.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated n-type semiconducting behavior in AKCF paper.
  • Observed voltage-controlled N-type negative resistance with a threshold electric field of 5.26 kV/m.
  • Generated a 40.6 MHz AC wave from a DC voltage source, accompanied by a four-order resistance switching effect at 293 K.
