Where is donor energy level located?

  1. A In \(n\) type semiconductor just above valence band
  2. B In \(n\) type semiconductor just below conduction band
  3. C In \(p\) type semiconductor just below conduction band
  4. D In \(p\) type semiconductor just above valence band
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) In \(n\) type semiconductor just below conduction band

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In n-type semiconductors, pentavalent impurities "donate" extra electrons. These donor atoms create a discrete energy level located just below the conduction band, making it very easy for electrons to jump into the conduction band at room temperature. B) In n type semiconductor…
