    What's the chemistry behind a semiconductor?

    Oh yeah, now I see what you meant, sorry and thanks. Haha, well I'm trying to learn the basics so I can totally understand your point. Ofc it can't produce electricity like a battery but what I meant is if it's a closed circuit why there is no current moving due to voltage difference? Few...

    What's the chemistry behind a semiconductor?

    There are a few explanations, but not as detailed, as I would like it to be. I'm trying to understand it, but the more I read more confused I seem to get. Just read that it doesn't produce electricity since the voltage difference adds up to 0, doesn't make sense. It depends on the reference...

    What's the chemistry behind a semiconductor?

    A reasonable approximation in terms of added electricity? Otherwise, I would disagree. There most certainly will be at least the same amount of positive charge as that lost electron, but the question is: where? In every textbook and video that I've seen, people point fingers at phosphor, but it...

    What's the chemistry behind a semiconductor?

    This is a confusing subject for me. It's like only getting half of the story. Reading physics but not understanding how it works in chemistry makes it nonsense to me. Imagine we are creating a silicon-based semiconductor. They have covalent bonds between them, with each silicon atom having four...
