Types of Semiconductor Materials
- Group IV elemental semiconductors
- Group IV compound semiconductors
- III-V semiconductors (See also: Template:III-V compounds): Crystallizing with high degree of stoichiometry, most can be obtained as both n-type and p-type. Many have high carrier mobilities and direct energy gaps, making them useful for optoelectronics.
- II-VI semiconductors: usually p-type, except ZnTe and ZnO which is n-type
- I-VII semiconductors
- IV-VI semiconductors
- IV-VI semiconductors
- V-VI semiconductors
- II-V semiconductors
- Oxides
- Layered semiconductors
- Magnetic semiconductors
- Organic semiconductors
- Charge-transfer complexes
- Others

Famous quotes containing the words types of, types and/or materials:
“The wider the range of possibilities we offer children, the more intense will be their motivations and the richer their experiences. We must widen the range of topics and goals, the types of situations we offer and their degree of structure, the kinds and combinations of resources and materials, and the possible interactions with things, peers, and adults.”
—Loris Malaguzzi (1920–1994)
“... there are two types of happiness and I have chosen that of the murderers. For I am happy. There was a time when I thought I had reached the limit of distress. Beyond that limit, there is a sterile and magnificent happiness.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“Though the hen should sit all day, she could lay only one egg, and, besides, would not have picked up materials for another.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
