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.
