RET Teaching Module 5: Conductors, Semiconductors, and Insulators

Overview

In this laboratory you will be assembling several circuits using different conductors, semiconductors, and insulators as electrodes. Using the materials provided, you will determine which samples are conductors, semiconductors, and insulators. You will also explore the differences between various types and levels of doped silicon semiconductors using known and unknown samples.

After completing this module, student should be able to:

• Explore the differences between insulators, conductors, and semi-conductors.
• Investigate the difference among Si samples with varying amount and type of doping.
