NEET2010PhysicsSemiconductorsActual
Which one of the following statement is false?
Options
- APure Si doped with trivalent impurities gives a p-type semiconductor
- BMajority carriers in a n-type semiconductor are holes
- CMinority carriers in a p-type semiconductor are electrons
- DThe resistance of intrinsic semiconductor decreases with increase of temperature
Correct answer
B. Majority carriers in a n-type semiconductor are holes
Step-by-step solution
p-type semiconductor are obtained by adding a small amount of trivalent impurity to a pure sample of semiconductor (Ge). Majority charge carriers-holes Minority charge carriers-electrons n-type semiconductor are obtained by adding a small amount of pentavalent impurity to a pure sample of semiconductor ( Ge ) . Majority charge carriers-electrons The resistance of intrinsic semiconductors decreases with increase of temperature.
