In n -type semiconductor, which of the following statement is true?
- A Electrons are majority carriers and trivalent atoms are dopants.
- B Electrons are minority carriers and pentavalent atoms are dopants.
- C Holes are minority carriers and pentavalent atoms are dopants.
- D Holes are majority carriers and trivalent atoms are dopants.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Holes are minority carriers and pentavalent atoms are dopants.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In n-type semiconductors, electrons are majority carriers and holes are minority carriers. Pentavalent atoms are used as dopants. Therefore, the true statement is: Holes are minority carriers and pentavalent atoms are dopants.
