Semiconductor in physics, Lecture notes of Physics

The classification of solids based on electrical conductivity and the formation of energy bands in solids. It describes the different types of solids, such as conductors, insulators, and semiconductors, and how energy levels of electrons in atoms get modified in solids. It also explains the formation of energy bands in solids and the different types of energy bands, such as valence band, conduction band, and forbidden energy gap. The document also discusses extrinsic semiconductors and p-n junction diodes.
