5. Band Theory  When the number of atoms is large, the orbitals and energy levels will be close.  This forms a band of orbitals.  Show figure of a band with labeled valence band and conductance band and fermi level.

6. Band Theory  Monovalent metals  Divalent metals  Semiconductors  Insulators  Miessler, Gary L. and Tarr, Donald A., Inorganic Chemistry. 3rd ed. Prentice Hall: New Jersey, 2004. pg 223-231.  White, Mary Anne., Properties of Materials. 1st ed. Oxford: New York: NY, 1999.

7. Band Theory  Density of State is the concentration of energy levels within bands.  Miessler, Gary L. and Tarr, Donald A., Inorganic Chemistry. 3rd ed. Prentice Hall: New Jersey, 2004. pg 223-231.

8. Semiconductors  Two Types  Pure Intrinsic  Si or Ge  Doped  n-type  p-type

9. Intrinsic Semiconductors  Pure metal semiconductors  Miessler, Gary L. and Tarr, Donald A., Inorganic Chemistry. 3rd ed. Prentice Hall: New Jersey, 2004. pg 223-231.

10. Doped Semiconductors  n-type  If the added material has more electrons in the valence shell than the host material.  n is for negative, adding electrons.  White, Mary Anne., Properties of Materials. 1st ed. Oxford: New York: NY, 1999.

11. Doped Semiconductors Each figure is showing more electrons in the host material and a promotion into conductance band of n-type.  Miessler, Gary L. and Tarr, Donald A., Inorganic Chemistry. 3rd ed. Prentice Hall: New Jersey, 2004. pg 223-231.  White, Mary Anne., Properties of Materials. 1st ed. Oxford: New York: NY, 1999.

12. Doped Semiconductors  p-typed  If the added material has fewer valence electrons than the host.  Results in a positive hole.  White, Mary Anne., Properties of Materials. 1st ed. Oxford: New York: NY, 1999.
