COMEDK · Physics · 30. Semiconductors

\(n\)-type and \(p\)-type semiconductors can be obtained by doping pure silicon, respectively with

  1. A arsenic, phosphorous
  2. B indium, aluminium
  3. C phosphorous, indium
  4. D aluminium, boron
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) phosphorous, indium

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(n\) - type semiconductor has electrons as majority charge carriers. So, they are obtained by doping with pentavalent atoms like phosphorous, arsenic, etc. \(p\)-type semiconductor has holes as majority charge carriers. So, they are obtained by doping with trivalent atoms like…
