only serves as a vacant spot and cannot conduct current
Hole is a vacancy or lack of an electron and can travel through the material. It can only serves as a vacant spot and cannot conduct current
such that number of electrons is greater than the number of holes
An?intrinsic semiconductor?is an undoped semiconductor. This means that holes in the valence band are vacancies created by electrons that have been thermally excited to the conduction band, as opposed to doped?semiconductors?where holes or electrons are supplied by a ?foreign? atom acting as an impurity.
None of these
Doping?is the process of adding impurities to intrinsic semiconductors?to alter their properties. Normally Trivalent and Pentavalent elements are used to dope Silicon and Germanium. When a intrinsic semiconductor?is?doped?with Trivalent impurity it becomes a P-Type?semiconductor.
