Which one of the following elements, when present as an impurity in silicon makes it a p-type semiconductor?

Options

  1. AAs
  2. BP
  3. CIn
  4. DSb

Correct answer

C. In

Step-by-step solution

When silicon is doped with such an impurity valency of which is less than 4, p -type semiconductor is obtained. valency of As, P and Sb is +5 and of In is +3 . Thus, In is the impurity which when added to Si gives p -type semiconductor.
