In a -type semiconductor, which of the following statement is true?
Options
- AElectrons are majority carriers and trivalent atoms are dopants
- BElectrons are minority carriers and pentavalent atoms are dopants
- CHoles are minority carriers and pentavalentf atoms are dopants
- DHoles are majority carriers and trivalent atoms are dopants
Correct answer
C. Holes are minority carriers and pentavalentf atoms are dopants
Step-by-step solution
The r-type sem-iconductor can be produced by doping an impurity atom of valence 5 i.e., pentavalent atoms. i.e., phosphorus.
