Semiconductor OneSource: Semiconductor Glossary. Electron hole pair generation - semiconductor theory - (science-campus) 1.05 Electron-Hole pair generation As previously stated there is an energy gap between the conduction and valence band in semiconductors.
However the energy required to jump this gap can be supplied to the electrons from heat energy. (This means that if the material is heated some electrons will acquire enough energy to break free of their parent atoms to become free electrons.) At room temperature some electrons will have acquired the energy to jump into the conduction band. How to undertake a literature search and review. Literature review. A literature review is a text of a scholarly paper, which includes the current knowledge including substantive findings, as well as theoretical and methodological contributions to a particular topic.
Literature reviews use secondary sources, and do not report new or original experimental work.[1] Types of Literature Reviews[edit]
