Notes:

1. The valence band is lower in energy than the conduction band and is generally completely full in semiconductors. When heated, electrons from the valence band jump out of the band across the band gap and into the conduction band, making the material conductive. The Fermi level separates the valence band from the conduction band.

2. In metals the valence band is the conduction band.
