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:
“Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.”
—Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)
“He’s one of those know-it-all types that, if you flatter the wig off him, he chatter like a goony bird at mating time.”
—Michael Blankfort. Lewis Milestone. Johnson (Reginald Gardner)
“Our job is now clear. All Americans must be prepared to make, on a 24 hour schedule, every war weapon possible and the war factory line will use men and materials which will bring, the war effort to every man, woman, and child in America. All one hundred thirty million of us will be needed to answer the sunrise stealth of the Sabbath Day Assassins.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
