NEETPhysicsSemiconductors
Statement I: By doping silicon semiconductors with pentavalent material, the electrons density increases. Statement II: The n - type of semiconductor has a net negative charge. In the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Options
- ABoth Statement I and Statement II are false.
- BStatement I is true but Statement II is false.
- CStatement I is false but Statement II is true.
- DBoth Statement I and Statement II are true.
Correct answer
B. Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
Step-by-step solution
Pentavalent material has excess free e - because we mix the impurities like phosphorus and arsenic having five electrons in the outermost shell. So e - density increases, but overall semiconductor is neutral. So we can say that Statement I is true but, Statement II is false.
