NEETChemistrySolid State
What effect does doping have on the conductivity of semiconductors?
Options
- AIt decreases the conductivity.
- BIt has no effect on the conductivity.
- CIt increases the conductivity.
- DIt changes the type of material from a semiconductor to an insulator.
Correct answer
C. It increases the conductivity.
Step-by-step solution
Doping increases the conductivity of semiconductors by introducing impurities that alter the number of charge carriers, enhancing their conductivity.
