What Is the Fermi Level in Semiconductors?
The Fermi Energy level in the Semiconductors is referred as the energy level within the band gap Where the probability of finding an electron is 50%.At absolute zero temperature, the Fermi level is at the top of the valence band in an intrinsic semiconductor. However when the temperature increases, some electrons gain enough energy to move from the valence band to the conduction band, leaving behind holes in the valence band. This movement causes the Fermi level to shift towards the middle of the band gap. The Positioning of the fermi level with respect to energy bands effects the conductivity and other electronic properties of semiconductors.
Semiconductors
A Semiconductor is a kind of material that performs conductivity between conductors and insulators and has a conductivity value that lies between the conductor and an insulator.
