    Semiconductor Basics: Doping

    How does doping make an intrinsic semiconductor into P-Type or N-Type material. and how dose doping create free electrons or holes in intrinsic crystal.

    The behavior of electrons and holes is fundamental to understanding how semiconductor devices work. In an intrinsic semiconductor, thermal energy can cause valence electrons to jump to the conduction band, leaving behind a “hole” that can be filled by another electron. This creates thermally-induced electron movement and an equal number of holes moving in the opposite direction.
