Draw the "energy bands" diagram for a (i) pure semiconductor (ii) insulator. How does the energy band, foe a pure semiconductor, get affected when this semiconductor is doped with an acceptor impurity donor impurity? Hence discuss why the 'holes' and the 'electrons' respectively, become the 'majority charge carriers' in these two cases.

A pure semiconductor germanium or silicon, free of every impurity is called intrinsic semiconductor. A room temperature, a pure semiconductor has a very small number of current carriers (electrons and holes). Hence, its conductivity is low. When the impurity atoms of valence five or three are doped in a pure semiconductor, we get repectively n-type ot p-type extrinsic semiconductor. In case of a doped semiconductor. n_(e)n_(h)=n_(i)^(2) , where n_(e) and n_(h) are the number density of electrons and holes respectively and n_(i) is the number density of intrinsic charge carriers in a pure semiconductor. The conductivity of extrinsic semiconductor is much higher than that of intrinsic semiconductor.
