Which one of the following statements is true? A p-type semiconductor is doped with

Options

  1. Atrivalent impurity and electrons are majority carriers.
  2. Bpentavalent impurity and electrons are minority carriers.
  3. Cpentavalent impurity and holes are minority carriers.
  4. Dtrivalent impurity and holes are majority carriers.

Correct answer

D. trivalent impurity and holes are majority carriers.

Step-by-step solution

The correct option is 2 Holes are the majority carriers and trivalent atoms are the dopants.Explanation:In p-type semiconductor an intrinsic semiconductor is doped with trivalent impurities that creates deficiencies of valence electrons called holes which are majority charge carriers.
