The Band Gap in Semiconductors
Band gaps are energy regions in which you can't find, or won't find, any electrons. They occur in all materials but they lead to different properties in different materials. Their existence is critical for the properties of semi conductors that lead to them being useful in transistors and now iw'll explain why these band gaps are so important.
