If the gap between the valence band and conduction band is small, some electrons may jump from
valenee band to the conduction band, Such a substance shows some conductivity and it behaves 26
a semiconductor [Fig. 1.21(¢)]. Electrical conductivity of ‘semiconductors increases with increase in
temperature, since more electrons can jump from valence to conduction band. Silicon and
show this type of behaviour and are called intrinsic semiconductors. .
(¢) Doping: Itis a process by which impurity is introduced in semiconductors to enhance their conductivity
1 -type semiconductor: When silicon or germanium crystal is doped witha Group 15 element like P or
‘As, the dopant atom forms four covalent bonds like a Si or Ge atom but the fifth electron, not used in
bonding, Becomes delocalised and contributes its share towards electrical conduction, Thus, silicon
germanium doped with Por As is called n-type semiconductor, n indicates negative charge of electron
since itis the electron that conducts electricity [Fig. 1.220].
=» p-type semiconductor: When silicon or germanium is doped witha group 13 element like B or Al, the
dopant atom forms three covalent bonds, but at the place of fourth 1 electron a hole is created. This hole
moves through the crystal like a positive charge giving rise to electrical conductivity. Thus, Si or Ge
doped with B or Al is called p-type semiconductor (p stands for positive hole), since it is the positive
hole that is responsible for conduction [Fig. 1.22(c)]. ”
