Question

What is the conductivity range for semiconductors?

Options

• \[10^{-5}\text{ to }10^{6}\ \Omega\cdot\mathrm{m}\]

• \[10^{-6}\text{ to }10^{5}\ \mathrm{S}\cdot\mathrm{m}^{-1}\]

• \[10^{-19}\text{ to }10^{-11}\ \mathrm{S}\cdot\mathrm{m}^{-1}\]

• \[10^{2}\text{ to }10^{8}\ \mathrm{S}\cdot\mathrm{m}^{-1}\]

Answer 1

The conductivity range for semiconductors is \[10^{-6}\] to \[10^{5}\ \mathrm{S}\cdot\mathrm{m}^{-1}\]. Electrons and holes can both contribute to this conductivity.
