| Description | Semiconductors are good examples of the theoretical and practical applications of modern electron theory. Their electrical resistivities vary in the range from about $10^{−2}$ to $10^{9}$ Ω-cm. This range is intermediate between those of good conductors $(10^{−6}$ to $10^{−5}$ Ω-cm) and insulators $(10^{14}$ to $10^{22}$ Ω-cm). The elements and compounds discussed here are insulators at 0 K. These materials are covalently bonded. The elemental semiconductors bond according to the (8-N) rule. The compound semiconductors mainly consist of ions from groups III and V and II and VI of the Periodic Table, but other covalently bonded compounds also have desirable properties (Section 10.7.7). These materials are intrinsic semiconductors in the “pure” state and have negative temperature coefficients of electrical resistivity.
