Identify the correct statements among the following.
(A) The number of electrons (\( n_e \)) is more than the number of holes (\( n_h \)) in intrinsic conductors.
(B) Semiconductors are elements (Si, Ge) type as well as compounds (GaAs, CdS).
(C) The number of charge carriers can be changed by 'doping' of a suitable impurity in pure semiconductors.
(D) Holes are essentially electron vacancies in a valence band.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A (A), (B) and (D) only
  2. B (B) and (C) only
  3. C (A), (B), (C) and (D)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) (B), (C) and (D) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(B) Correct: Semiconductors can be elemental (like Silicon and Germanium) or compound (like Gallium Arsenide and Cadmium Sulfide). (C) Correct: Doping involves adding specific impurities to a pure semiconductor to significantly increase the number of charge carriers (electrons…
