The Actual Reason Semiconductors Are Different From Conductors and Insulators.

Support me on Patreon! In this video I take a break from lab work to explain how a property of the electron wave function is responsible for the formation of semiconductor bandgaps. I start with the basic properties of the atom and work my way through some quantum physics without getting too deep into the math. Correction: 14:41 Oops, that should be ½mv²
