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 types his laboured column—weary drudge!
Senile fudge and solemn:
Spare, editor, to condemn
These dry leaves of his autumn.”
—Robertson Davies (b. 1913)
“He was no specialist except in the relation of things.... He took most of his materials at second hand.... But no matter who mined the gold, the image and superscription are his.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
