They are semiconductors that occur naturally and do not require any sort of chemical doping and can often be recognized by characteristic crystal lattice structures that they form.

The amount of energy required to rip off an electron is represented on the energy level diagram by the vertical distance from that level to the ground level at the top of the diagram. The energy gap Eg, also called the bandgap, is the energy difference from the top of the valence band to the bottom of the conduction band.
