To form n-type semiconductor from a pure semiconductor, the impurity to be added is

  1. A Aluminium
  2. B Boron
  3. C Indium
  4. D Arsenic
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Arsenic

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

To form an n-type semiconductor, a pure semiconductor (like Silicon or Germanium) must be doped with a pentavalent impurity (elements with 5 valence electrons). Arsenic has 5 valence electrons, providing an extra "free" electron for conduction. In contrast, Aluminium, Boron, and…
