How to Evaluate Valence Band Energy?

Valence Band Energy evaluator uses Valence Band Energy = Conduction Band Energy-Energy Gap to evaluate the Valence Band Energy, The Valence Band Energy formula is defined as situations where electrons (or holes) are transported through the top of the valence band such as in a p-type semiconductor. Valence Band Energy is denoted by Ev symbol.
