SEMICONDUCTORS DEFINITION (continued): …  applied to a control electrode, or on the intensity ofirradiation by infrared (IR), visible light, ultraviolet (UV), or X rays.

The specific properties of a semiconductor depend on theimpurities, or dopants, added to it. An N-type semiconductor carries current mainly in the form ofnegatively-charged electrons,in a manner similar to the conduction of current in a wire. A P-typesemiconductor carries current predominantly as electron …
