  2. Silicon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon

    Silicon crystallizes in a diamond cubic crystal structure by forming sp 3 hybrid orbitals. [48] A silicon atom has fourteen electrons. In the ground state, they are arranged in the electron configuration [Ne]3s 2 3p 2. Of these, four are valence electrons, occupying the 3s orbital and two of the 3p orbitals.

  3. Charge carrier density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_carrier_density

    For example, doping pure silicon with a small amount of phosphorus will increase the carrier density of electrons, n. Then, since n > p, the doped silicon will be a n-type extrinsic semiconductor. Doping pure silicon with a small amount of boron will increase the carrier density of holes, so then p > n, and it will be a p-type extrinsic ...

  4. Semiconductor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiconductor

    For example, the pure semiconductor silicon has four valence electrons that bond each silicon atom to its neighbors. [34] In silicon, the most common dopants are group III and group V elements. Group III elements all contain three valence electrons, causing them to function as acceptors when used to dope silicon.

  5. Carbon group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_group

    The tendency to lose electrons increases as the size of the atom increases, as it does with increasing atomic number. Carbon alone forms negative ions , in the form of carbide (C 4− ) ions. Silicon and germanium , both metalloids , each can form +4 ions.

  6. Electron shell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_shell

    In chemistry and atomic physics, an electron shell may be thought of as an orbit that electrons follow around an atom's nucleus.The closest shell to the nucleus is called the "1 shell" (also called the "K shell"), followed by the "2 shell" (or "L shell"), then the "3 shell" (or "M shell"), and so on further and further from the nucleus.

  7. Electron mobility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_mobility

    In silicon (Si) the electron mobility is of the order of 1,000, in germanium around 4,000, and in gallium arsenide up to 10,000 cm 2 /(V⋅s). Hole mobilities are generally lower and range from around 100 cm 2 /(V⋅s) in gallium arsenide, to 450 in silicon, and 2,000 in germanium.

  9. Electron configuration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_configuration

    Electron atomic and molecular orbitals A Bohr diagram of lithium. In atomic physics and quantum chemistry, the electron configuration is the distribution of electrons of an atom or molecule (or other physical structure) in atomic or molecular orbitals. [1]
