Question

Is zinc a semiconductor?

Answer 1

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

Zinc oxide (ZnO) is one of the interesting metal-oxide-based semiconductors with relatively biosafe and biocompatible properties which is very suitable for sensor/transducer applications and drug delivery to intracellular environment.

Answer 2

Answer:Yes

1. Zinc is most commonly used semiconductor.
2. Zinc oxide is one of the metal-oxide-based semiconductors.
3. It is relatively biosafe and biocompatible properties which is suitable for sensor/transducer application.
4. It is wide gap band semiconductor of the II-VI semiconductor group.
5. It is strong at room temperature
6. It interstitials in n-type.
7. Due to oxygen vacancies it has native dopping of semiconductor.
