What is the most significant development in electronics since World War II?

Germanium is the most widely used semiconductor material because of its stability at high temperatures.

Atoms that normally have three electrons in their outer shell are called __________________ atoms.

When a depletion region of a transistor is large the barrier voltage is also large.

If conductance increases as temperature increases, this is known as a:

Solid state devices were first manufactured during:

A commonly used pentavalent material is:

Forward bias of a silicon P-N junction will produce a barrier voltage of approximately how many volts?

What causes the depletion region?

The natural elements carbon, germanium, and silicon are semiconductors.

The P-N junction is a barrier to electron flow.

The first integrated circuit was invented in 1959.

Electron pair bonding occurs when atoms:

Which material may also be considered a semiconductor element?

Which semiconductor material is made from coal ash?

What is an energy gap?

The number of electrons in the outer shell of carbon, germanium, and silicon is 5.

A covalent bond is when atoms lose valence shell electrons.

When a voltage is placed across a semiconductor, free electrons move toward the negative voltage.

If conductance increases as temperature increases, this is known as a:
