  1. A Boron and Phosphorous
  2. B Phosphorous and Boron
  3. C Sodium and Magnesium
  4. D Indium and Aluminium
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Phosphorous and Boron

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

To create an n-type semiconductor, you dope silicon with a pentavalent element like Phosphorous to provide extra electrons. For a p-type, you use a trivalent element like Boron to create "holes" (missing electrons) in the crystal structure. B) Phosphorous and Boron
