Question

Define intrinsic semiconductors using bandgap in energy levels.

Answer 1

intrinsic semiconductor is one in which the maximum energy of the valence band occurs at a different k (k-space wave vector) than the minimum energy of the conduction band. Examples include silicon and germanium.

Answer 2

Intrinsic semiconductor. ... An indirectband gap intrinsic semiconductor is one in which the maximum energy of the valence band occurs at a different k (k-space wave vector) than the minimum energy of the conduction band. Examples include silicon and germanium.
