What do you know about a semiconductor?
  • Resistivity is between a metal and an insulator
  • Resistivity decreases with temperature, vs,
  • resistivity of metal increases with temperature
  • Photoconductivity light illumination increases
    conductivity
  • Rectifier it conducts when forward biased in
    p-n
  • diode and Schottky diode
  • Transistor discovered by Bardeen and Brattain

Inventors of the transistor William Shockley
(seated), John Bardeen (left) and Walter H.
Brattein (right) in 1948. They received the
Nobel Prize in Physics in 1956.
The first point-contact transistor invented in
1947.

Diamond Structure
Group IV elements such as Si and Ge
Two interpenetrating fcc structures displaced
with respect to each other along (111) direction
by one quarter the body diagonal of the elemental
cube
The basis two atoms locate at (0,0,0) and
(1/4,1/4,1/4,)a
The hard sphere filling factor is only 0.34
Simple fcc is 0.74. There are 4 first nearest
neighbors ? second nearest neighbors
