Semiconductor Devices Quiz

What is a semiconductor material?

• A material with no electrical conductivity

• A material with high thermal conductivity

• A material with magnetic properties

• A material with electrical conductivity between a conductor and an insulator

Give an example of a semiconductor material.

• Wood

• Plastic

• Glass

• Silicon

What are the properties of a semiconductor material?

• High conductivity, low sensitivity to temperature, inability to be doped

• Low conductivity, high sensitivity to temperature, inability to be doped

• Conductivity between that of a conductor and an insulator, sensitivity to temperature, and the ability to be doped

• Low conductivity, low sensitivity to temperature, inability to be doped

How are semiconductor materials different from conductors and insulators?

• They have higher conductivity than conductors

• They have no conductivity at all

• They have conductivity between that of conductors and insulators.

• They have lower conductivity than insulators

Explain the role of semiconductor materials in electronic devices.

• Semiconductor materials are used for insulation in electronic devices.

• Semiconductor materials control the flow of electrical current in electronic devices.

• Semiconductor materials generate heat in electronic devices.

• Semiconductor materials are only used in mechanical devices.
