Distinguish between a conductor and a semi conductor on the basis of energy band diagram
उत्तर
Distinction between conductor and insulator:
Conductor: In a conductor, the valance band is either partially filled or completely filled.
It has zero forbidden energy gap between the conduction band and the valance band.
The energy band diagram can be represented as shown below:
Insulator: In an insulator, the valance band is completely filled and the conduction band is empty.
The forbidden energy gap between the conduction band and the valance band is greater than or equal to 3 eV
The energy band diagram can be represented as shown below:

The conductivity of an intrinsic semiconductor depends on temperature as σ = σ0e−ΔE/2kT, where σ0 is a constant. Find the temperature at which the conductivity of an intrinsic germanium semiconductor will be double of its value at T = 300 K. Assume that the gap for germanium is 0.650 eV and remains constant as the temperature is increased.
