For an n-type semiconductor, the relation between the number density 'nhn_h' and 'nen_e' is

Options

  1. Ane=nhn_e = n_h
  2. Bnh<<nen_h < < n_e
  3. Cnh>>nen_h > > n_e
  4. Dnh=ne=0n_h = n_e = 0

Correct answer

B. nh<<nen_h < < n_e

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)ismuchgreaterthanthenumberdensityofholes(nh) is much greater than the number density of holes (n_h), which can be written as nh<<nen_h < < n_e.

Answer: nh<<nen_h < < n_e
