degenerate semiconductor การใช้

In this respect they resemble degenerate semiconductors more closely.
Since degenerate semiconductors exhibit some metallic properties, such as luster and electrical conductivity which decreases with temperature, some silicides classified as metals may be semiconductors.
On the other hand, a degenerate semiconductor still has far fewer charge carriers than a true metal so that its behavior is in many ways intermediary between semiconductor and metal.
There are some materials like indium tin oxide ( ITO ) that are metallic conductors ( actually degenerate semiconductors ) for which this threshold is in the infrared, which is why they are transparent in the visible, but good mirrors in the IR.
In the case of a degenerate semiconductor, an electron from the top of the valence band can only be excited into conduction band above the Fermi level ( which now lies in conduction band ) since all the states below the Fermi level are occupied states.
