Semiconductor Materials

Semiconductor Materials

Although the discovery of semiconductors is relatively recent, there seems to be various semiconductor types.

Different types of semiconductor materials

1. Elemental semiconductor (Single element)

Silicon, germanium, selenium, carbon.

2. Compound semiconductor (intermetallic compound)

Gallium / arsenic, gallium / phosphorus, nickel antimony, indium antimony, indium arsenic.

3. Ceramics semiconductor

Utilizes the semiconducting properties of non-oxide ceramics. In the first place, imagine ceramics. Kneading the soil to make a shape and baking it in a furnace to make a bowl (hard substance). Generally, it is a non-conductive material that does not conduct electricity, but there are some non-conductive materials.

4. Sulfide semiconductor (Sulfide)

Cadmium sulfide, lead sulfide, cadmium selenium selenium.

5. Oxide semiconductor (Metal oxide)

Zinc oxide, lead oxide, copper oxide, and thermostat

6. Tellurium compound semiconductor (Tellurium compound)

Cadmium telluride, tin lead telluride

7. Organic compound semiconductor (Organic compound)
