An n-type and p-type semiconductor can be obtained by respectively doping pure silicon with

Options

  1. AArsenic and Phosphorous respectively
  2. BIndium and Aluminium respectively
  3. CPhosphorous and Indium respectively
  4. DAluminium and Boron respectively

Correct answer

C. Phosphorous and Indium respectively

Step-by-step solution

Pure silicon is a Group 14 element. An n-type semiconductor is obtained by doping pure silicon with a pentavalent impurity (Group 15 element) such as Phosphorous, Arsenic, Antimony, or Bismuth. A p-type semiconductor is obtained by doping pure silicon with a trivalent impurity (Group 13 element) such as Boron, Aluminium, Gallium, or Indium. Thus, doping with Phosphorous gives an n-type semiconductor and doping with Indium gives a p-type semiconductor. Answer: Phosphorous and Indium respectively
