Description : what is fermi energy

Last Answer : Fermi energy is the part of electron band diagram.Fermi energy is highest energy that the electron assume at T = 0 K. Fermi level comes in between conduction band and valance band. In case of ... , In case of semiconductor energy gap is small, And in case of conductor energy gap is overlap.
