Diode 

•  allows current to flow in one direction
•  allows current to flow in two directions
• is a resistor

In the forward bias arrangement of a p-n junction diode,

• the n-end is connected to the positive terminal of the battery

• the p-end is connected to the positive terminal of the battery

• the direction of current is from n-end to p-end in the diode

• the p-end is connected to the negative terminal of the battery

Materials which can conduct electricity better than insulator,but not as well as conductors. This is the definition of

• diode

• semiconductor

• conductor

• insulator

• superconductor

Doping of Semiconductors

• materials which can conduct electricity better than insulator, but not as well as conductors.

• The process of adding of a certain amount of specific impurities atoms in the pure semiconductor.

• when 4 electrons in outermost orbit.
