From the following, choose the element for impurity atoms with which pure silicon should be doped to make it a p-type semiconductor:

  1. A Arsenic
  2. B Boron
  3. C Phosphorous
  4. D Antimony
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Boron

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

To create a p-type semiconductor, you must dope pure silicon (Group 14) with trivalent impurities from Group 13. Boron has only three valence electrons, leaving a "hole" in the crystal lattice that acts as a positive charge carrier. Arsenic, Phosphorous, and Antimony are all…
