Semiconductor Materials - Types of Semiconductor Materials

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)

    “The bourgeoisie loves so-called “positive” types and novels with happy endings since they lull one into thinking that it is fine to simultaneously acquire capital and maintain one’s innocence, to be a beast and still be happy.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    “The competent leader of men cares little for the niceties of other peoples’ characters: he cares much—everything—for the exterior uses to which they may be put.... These are men to be moved. How should he move them? He supplies the power; others simply the materials on which that power operates.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
