COMEDK2016PhysicsSemiconductors
n -type and p -type semiconductors can be obtained by doping pure silicon, respectively with
Options
- Aarsenic, phosphorous
- Bindium, aluminium
- Cphosphorous, indium
- Daluminium, boron
Correct answer
C. phosphorous, indium
Step-by-step solution
n - type semiconductor has electrons as majority charge carriers. So, they are obtained by doping with pentavalent atoms like phosphorous, arsenic, etc. p -type semiconductor has holes as majority charge carriers. So, they are obtained by doping with trivalent atoms like aluminium, boron, indium, etc.
