- Intrinsic semiconductors are pure semiconductors that do not contain any impurities. They have a very high electrical resistance and are not very useful for electronic devices. - Extrinsic semiconductors are semiconductors that have been doped with impurities. Doping can increase the electrical conductivity of a semiconductor by adding either donor or acceptor impurities. - N-type semiconductors are extrinsic semiconductors that have been doped with donor impurities. Donor impurities add electrons to the semiconductor, which increases its electrical conductivity. - P-type semiconductors are extrinsic semiconductors that have been doped with acceptor impurities. Acceptor impurities remove electrons from the semiconductor, which decreases its electrical conductivity.
