Here, height is energy while width is the [[Density of states|density of available states]] for a certain energy in the material listed. The shade follows the [[Fermi–Dirac statistics|Fermi–Dirac distribution]] ('''black''' = all states filled, '''white''' = no state filled). In [[metal]]s and [[semimetal]]s the [[Fermi level]] ''E''<sub>F</sub> lies inside at least one band. | [[File:Band filling diagram.svg|thumb|{{{1|right}}}|300px|Filling of the electronic states in various types of materials at [[thermodynamic equilibrium|equilibrium]].

In [[insulator (electricity)|insulator]]s and [[semiconductor]]s the Fermi level is inside a [[band gap]]; however, in semiconductors the bands are near enough to the Fermi level to be [[Fermi-Dirac statistics|thermally populated]] with electrons or [[electron hole|hole]]s. | In [[insulator (electricity)|insulator]]s and [[semiconductor]]s the Fermi level is inside a [[band gap]]; however, in semiconductors the bands are near enough to the Fermi level to be [[Fermi-Dirac statistics|thermally populated]] with electrons or [[electron hole|hole]]s. | ||
