The cause of the depletion layer in the p-n junction region is
- A drift of holes
- B drift of electrons
- C migration of impurity ions
- D diffusion of charge carriers
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) diffusion of charge carriers
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
When a p-n junction is formed, the high concentration of holes in the p-region and electrons in the n-region causes them to diffuse across the junction. As they recombine near the boundary, they leave behind immobile positive and negative ions, creating a region "depleted" of…
