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

p-type Doping: To make a "p-type" (positive-type) semiconductor, you need to create "holes" (missing electrons) in the crystal lattice. This is done by adding trivalent impurities—elements with only 3 valence electrons. Boron (B): As a Group 13 element, Boron has 3 valence…
