Answer:

Holes are formed when electrons in atoms move out of the valence band (the outermost shell of the atom that is completely filled with electrons) into the conduction band. (the area in an atom where electrons can escape easily) which happens everywhere in a semiconductor. When an electron and a hole interact and recombine the energy is not transferred into heat energy or thermal vibrations. instead the energy is transferred into an electron within the conduction band which is then promoted to an energy higher in condition band.

Step-by-step explanation:

So considering that information, electrons and holes make a semiconductor when moving.
