Depletion region in an unbiased semiconductor diode is a region consisting of
- A both free electrons and holes
- B neither free electrons nor holes
- C only free electrons
- D only holes
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) neither free electrons nor holes
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Depletion region in an unbiased semiconductor diode is a region consisting of immobile ions only. i.e. In depletion region, neither free elements nor holes exist.
