12.6 Conduction in Terms of Band and Atomic Bonding Models
Metallic characterExcitation barrier is much smaller than heat (RT), noise or any background excitations. Practically anything excite electrons to the conduction band
c12f06
An intrinsic semiconductor has a band gap or barrier for the electrons to get into the conduction bandThis barrier need a photon excitation, an external bias potentialUsually RT cannot excite the electron to the conduction band.For instance, a photon of light ~4eV
c12f07
Scattering EventsElectric field drifts electrons in the opposite direction to the fieldb/c electrons are –ve
The actual speed of electrons is much higher than the drift velocity
Scattering is due to the strike with the nuclei
When the actual velocity of the electrons is similar to the drift velocity, the system is in the ballistic regime
In the ballistic regime there is practically no barrier for the electrons
Examples: in vacuum tubes, ~in carbon nanotubes (CNT), superconductors*

12.10 Intrinsic Semiconduction
II. SEMICONDUCTIVITYConductivity of semiconducting materials is lower than from metalsSensitive to minute concentrations of impuritiesIntrinsic: pure materialExtrinsic: doped with impurity atoms
Band structureSi (1.1 eV)Ge (0.7 eV)GaAs (IIIA-VA)InSb (IIIA-VA)CdS (IIB-VIA)ZnTe (IIB-VIA)
We have electrons as carriers in metals and “electrons” and ‘holes’ as carriers in semiconductors

p-n rectifying junction
Flow of electrons in one direction only convert alternating current to direct current
Processing: diffuse P into one side of a B-doped crystal.
• Results:--No applied potential, no net current flow. --Forward bias: carriers flow through p-type and n-type regions; holes and electrons recombine at p-n junction; current flows.
--Reverse bias: carrier flow away from p-n junction; carrier conc. greatly reduced at junction; little current flow.
