JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 14. Semicondutor electronics

Consider a n-type semiconductor in which \(\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{e}}\) and \(\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{h}}\) are number of electrons and holes, respectively.
(A) Holes are minority carriers
(B) The dopant is a pentavalent atom
(C) \(\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{e}} \mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{h}} \neq \mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{i}}^2\)
(where \(n_i\) is number of electrons or holes in semiconductor when it is intrinsic form)
(D) \(\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{e}} \mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{h}} \geq \mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{i}}^2\)
(E) The holes are not generated due to the donors Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. A (A), (C), (D) only
  2. B (A), (C), (E) only
  3. C (A), (B), (E) only
  4. D (A), (B), (C) only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) (A), (B), (E) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(A) n type semiconductor holes are minority carriers and \(\mathrm{e}^{-}\)are majority carriers (B) Dopant are pentavalent atom. (C) \(\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{e}} \cdot \mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{h}}=\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{i}}^2\) for intrinsic semiconductor (E) In \(n\) type semiconductor…
