Hello,
I do Know that my question is silly but I would like to ask it anyway.
to turn a Intrinsic Silicon crystal into an extrinsic one the semiconductor builders add impurities into the intrinsic silicon so that they convert the silicon mater into a conductor.
the question is why they originally do not use a conductor instead of a extrinsic semiconductor?
I think the answer comes back to electron and holes but I am not sure of the exact response.
Thanks in advance
