Extrinsic Semiconductors
Introduction Extrinsic semiconductors are a specialized type of semiconductors that are chemically modified (or ‘doped’) to enhance their electrical conductivity. Unlike intrinsic semiconductors, which consist solely of one type of atom, extrinsic semiconductors have been intentionally doped with impurities to create a surplus of free charge carriers, either electrons or holes. Doping Process The process…
