Answer

Intrinsic semiconductors - semiconductor materials in which the electrical behavior is the characteristic of the pure material, meaning electrical conductivity depends only on temperature and band gap energy (undoped Si) Extrinsic semiconductors- semiconductor materials in which the electrical behavior is determined by impurities (B-doped Si) Compound semiconductors - semiconductors composed of elements from two or more different groups of the periodic table (CdS) Elemental semiconductors - semiconductors which are composed of a single element (Si)
