Which one of the following elements on doping with germanium, make it a p-type semiconductor?

  1. A \(\mathrm{Bi}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{Sb}\)
  3. C As
  4. D Ga
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{Bi}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The group 13 elements have 1 electron short to \(\mathrm{Ge}\), thus giving rise to electron deficient bond or a hole which is responsible for electrical conductivity. Thus, group 13 elements (like Ga) on dopping with \(\mathrm{Ge}\), make it \(p\)-type semiconductor. Here…
