Fermi Energy Level in Intrinsic and Extrinsic Semiconductors

Summary

This video explains the concepts of Fermi level and Fermi energy in semiconductors, including both intrinsic and extrinsic types. It distinguishes between the Fermi level, which represents the highest occupied energy state at absolute zero, and Fermi energy, the maximum energy a free electron can have. The video uses analogies and energy state diagrams to clarify these terms. It further explores how doping shifts the Fermi level in N-type and P-type semiconductors. Finally, the script provides a mathematical derivation showing that in intrinsic semiconductors, the Fermi level lies exactly between the conduction and valence bands.
