The conductivity of intrinsic semiconductors, such as silicon and germanium, can be increased when small amounts of group 3A or group 5A elements are added by a process called doping. a. True
b. False

a. True

Explanation:

A semiconductor can be defined as a crystalline solid substance that has its conductivity lying between that of a metal and an insulator, due to the effects of temperature or an addition of an impurity. Semiconductors are classified into two main categories;

1. Extrinsic semiconductor.

2. Intrinsic semiconductor.

An intrinsic semiconductor is a crystalline solid substance that is in its purest form and having no impurities added to it. Examples of intrinsic semiconductor are Germanium and Silicon.

Basically, the number of free electrons in an intrinsic semiconductor is equal to the number of holes. Also, the number of holes and free electrons in an intrinsic semiconductor is directly proportional to the temperature; as the temperature increases, the number of holes and free electrons increases and vice-versa.

In an intrinsic semiconductor, each free electrons (valence electrons) produces a covalent bond.

Generally, a process referred to as doping can be used to increase the conductivity of an intrinsic semiconductor such as silicon or germanium, by adding small amounts of impurities found in group 3A or group 5A elements.
