For an n-type semiconductor, the relation between the number density '' and '' is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
In an n-type semiconductor, pentavalent impurity atoms are added to the intrinsic semiconductor. Each impurity atom donates one free electron, significantly increasing the number density of electrons.
As a result, electrons become the majority charge carriers and holes become the minority charge carriers.
Therefore, the number density of electrons (n_e), which can be written as .
