It is one complete pattern of atoms combined.

Are those semiconductor that have been carefully refined to reduce the impurities to a very low level – essentially as pure as can be made through modern technology.

This is the amount of energy that a valence electron must have in order to jump from the valence band to the conduction band.

It is the process by which small amount of selected additives called impurities are added to semiconductor to increase their current flow.

In an n-type material, the majority carriers are

When a p-n junction's depletion layer is narrowed and the device acts as a nearly perfect conductor, it is

Pentavalent atoms are often referred to as

When trivalent elements are used in doping, the resulting material is called ________ material and has an excess of ________.

This is a schematic symbol for what type of diode?

A too negative voltage that will result in a current increase in a direction opposite to that of the positive voltage region.

Arsenic, antimony and phosphorus are what type of impurities?

A free electron has a higher energy state than any that are bound to their nucleus.

Holes are the majority carriers in a p-type material.

The planet is a good conductor, and it's huge, so it makes a handy return path for electrons.

The quantum-Volt (qV) is the unit of measurement for electron energy.

A number of free electrons exist in the conduction band at a temperature of absolute zero temperature

When tested with an ohmmeter, a diode should have a relatively high resistance for
