products made from polymer semiconductors are more flexible and can be formed into bendable devices that would snap ordinary electronics. See polymer. THIS DEFINITION IS FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY.

Semiconductors are materials that have a small electronic bandgap. This bandgap prevents current from flowing at absolute zero, but thermally excited charge carriers can begin to flow at higher ...

Definition of semiconductor, Electrons and holes, and Effective mass. In this module, we will cover carrier statistics. Topics include Currents in semiconductors, Density of states, Fermi-Dirac ...
