GaAs, III-V Compound Semiconductors, and Their Dopants As Ga  GaAs has the same crystal structure as Si.  GaAs, GaP, GaN are III-V compound semiconductors, important for optoelectronics.  Wich group of elements are candidates for donors? acceptors? GaAs Ga

Energy Band Model  Energy states of Si atom (a) expand into energy bands of Si crystal (b).  The lower bands are filled and higher bands are empty in a semiconductor.  The highest filled band is thevalence band.  The lowest empty band is theconduction band.

Energy Band Diagram Conduction band E c E v E g Band gap Valence band   Energy band diagram shows the bottom edge of conduction band, E c, and top edge of valence band, E v.  E c and E v are separated by the band gap energy, E g.
