  1. A electrons are minority carriers and pentavalent atoms are dopants
  2. B electron are minority carriers and trivalent atoms are dopants
  3. C electron are majority carriers and trivalent atoms are the dopants
  4. D holes are minority carriers and pentavalent atoms are the dopants
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) holes are minority carriers and pentavalent atoms are the dopants

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In n-type silicon, pentavalent dopants (like phosphorus) provide extra free electrons. This makes electrons the majority carriers and holes the minority D) holes are minority carriers and pentavalent atoms are the dopants.
