When a semiconductor is doped with a donor impurity

  1. A electron concentration decreases and hole concentration remains the same
  2. B hole concentration decreases and electron concentration remains the same
  3. C electron concentration increases and hole concentration remains the same
  4. D electron concentration increases and hole concentration decreases
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) electron concentration increases and hole concentration decreases

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Electron Increase: Donor atoms are pentavalent, meaning they have \(5\) valence electrons. They "donate" their extra fifth electron to the conduction band, which significantly increases the electron concentration \(\left(n_e\right)\). Hole Decrease: According to the Law of Mass…
