Semiconductor material types

Narrow-gap semiconductor

Narrow-gap semiconductors are semiconducting materials with a band gap that is comparatively small compared to that of silicon, i.e. smaller than 1.11 eV at room temperature. They are used as infrared detectors or thermoelectrics. (Wikipedia).

Intrinsic semiconductors

Intrinsic semiconductors are pure, stoichiometric materials that have not been doped with additional compounds in order to modify their electrical conductivity. The band gap of these materials increases as we move from group IV materials like silicon and germanium to III-V (GaAs etc) and I

Energy bands and band gaps in materials

Isolated atoms have energy levels corresponding to s, p, d, f orbitals etc. However, as we bring atoms close together we have to worry about overlap leading to multiple electrons having the same quantum numbers. This would violate pauli exclusion principle!! Instead, we have to slightly ch
