The cause of the depletion layer in the p-n junction region is

  1. A drift of holes
  2. B drift of electrons
  3. C migration of impurity ions
  4. D diffusion of charge carriers
Verified Solution

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…
