This lecture introduces the essential concepts of donors and acceptors in semiconductor physics, explaining their role in controlling conductivities. It covers binding energy, ionization energy, and Bohr radius for impurities, as well as density of states and occupancy statistics to determine free carrier concentration. A comparison between metals, insulators, and semiconductors is made, emphasizing the differences between the latter two material families.
