Answer the questions in the way shown.

1. Will you add some arsenic to silicon?

No. (deactivate thermal agitation). If I add some arsenic to silicon, I will deactivate thermal agitation.

2. Let’s start our discussion from P-type semiconductors.

I can’t agree. (not completely studied valence electrons). If we …

3. Could we help you to prepare for the conference?

No. (not be the only developer of the new aspects of P-type semiconductors usage). If you …

4. Are you ready to explain to us your new theory on different types of conductivity?

I hope so. (be the breakthrough in science). If I …

5. Why do you want to work in Silicon Valley?

(improve semiconductor systems).

6. Will we discuss about the P-N junction?

Of course. (you understand the principles of a PNP transistor operation). If we …

Use your own ideas to complete the sentences.

1. If we apply the thermal agitation to silicon, it will result in changing the conductivity of the specimen.

2. If an impurity atom has more valence electrons than the material, …

3. If holes are majority charge carriers in the material, …

4. If an semiconductor device has two P-N junctions, …

5. If an electron is attached to the nucleus very loosely, …

6. If you want to become a head of the Semiconductor Development Institute, …

6. Form verbs from the following words using the suffix – en and translate them: strength, broad, wide, tight, rough.

For example: hard – твёрдый, крепкий; harden – …
