To understand how diodes, transistors, and integrated
circuits
work, you first have to study semiconductors: materials that
are
neither conductors nor insulators. Semiconductors contain
some
free electrons, but what makes them unusual is the presence
of holes. In this chapter, you will learn about
semiconductors,
holes, and other related topics.
