3 - one is the main element used on both the P and N junction with 4 electrons in the valence shell
- second is the trivalent with 3 electrons in the valence shell - third is the pentavalent with 5 electrons in the outer shell.
A semiconductor slice is used to make integrated circuits or ICs. It is also known as a semiconductor wafer or a semiconductor substrate.
If a diode is connected with two voltage sources for ex: One is 5V in F.B and The other is 3V in R.B then the Effective voltage will be equal to 2V F.B. So, The diode conducts.
A diode is an electronic component with the characteristic that its resistance is not constant, but depends on the magnitude of the current through it. An ideal diode has zero resistance to current in one direction, and infinite resistance to current in the reverse direction.
Carbon, silicon, gallium.
Semiconductors can either be intrinsic or extrinsic. Intrinsic semiconductors are elements that are in their pure form. These will usually have positive and negative sides because the electrons migrate towards one direction. On the other hand, extrinsic semiconductors are when the conductivity (or ability to make an electric charge with the electrons) are controlled by adding other atoms. These atoms that are added are called dopants. Dopants donate or receive electrons from the semiconductor to make impure.
An electronic component composed of two layers of a semiconductor material is a diode.

The first modern semiconductor diode was made with germanium. These diodes were invented in ww2 for RADAR. But before that semiconductor diodes were made with galena (lead sulfide), copper oxide, and selenium. I have no idea which was "first".
