= Beta-silicon effect
{wiki=Beta-silicon_effect}
The Beta-silicon effect refers to a phenomenon in semiconductor physics and materials science, especially concerning silicon semiconductors. It describes how the electrical properties of silicon can be altered by the presence of defects or impurities, particularly those that affect its band structure. In more specific terms, the Beta-silicon effect often relates to the behavior of minority carriers (electrons or holes) in silicon when specific conditions are met, such as high electric fields or doping levels.
