In the energy band diagram of a material shown below, the open circles and filled circles denote holes and electrons respectively. The material is a/an
- A \(p\) -type semiconductor
- B insulator
- C metal
- D \(n\) -type semiconductor
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(p\) -type semiconductor
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The material has a higher concentration of holes (open circles) in the valence band than electrons (filled circles) in the conduction band, and the Fermi level is closer to the valence band. Therefore, it is a/an \(p\) -type semiconductor.
