What Does CBM Stand For?
CBM stands for Conduction Band Minimum
CBM, or Conduction Band Minimum, refers to the lowest energy level of the conduction band in a semiconductor or insulator. This point is crucial for understanding electronic properties, as it determines the minimum energy required for an electron to move freely and contribute to electrical conductivity. The position of the CBM relative to the valence band influences the material's band gap, affecting its behavior in electronic and optoelectronic applications.
