• doping
  • dopant (or doping agent)
• intrinsic semiconductor (or pure semiconductor, undoped semiconductor or i-type semiconductor)
• extrinsic semiconductor
  • n-type semiconductor
  • p-type semiconductor
• p–n junction
• p–n diode
• forward bias
• reverse bias
• depletion region (אזור הָמִחְסוּר)
• diode (דיודה)
• light-emitting diode (LED)
• transistor
  • BJT (bipolar junction transistor)
    • The base is the control terminal
    • The collector is the high-voltage terminal
    • The emitter is the low-voltage terminal
    • types:
      • NPN (negative-positive-negative)
      • PNP (positive-negative-positive)
  • field-effect transistor (FET)
    • pins: drain, gate, source
    • types:
      • junction field-effect transistor (JFET)
      • metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET, MOS-FET, MOS FET, or MOS transistor)
• integrated circuit
