A semiconductor is doped with phosphorous atoms as impurity. The impurity levels created in the semiconductor are close to the

  1. A top of the valence band
  2. B bottom of the conduction band
  3. C bottom of the valence band
  4. D top of the conduction band
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) bottom of the conduction band

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Phosphorous is a pentavalent impurity. So, resulting semiconductor is a \(n\)-type semiconductor. The energy band diagram of a \(n\)-type semiconductor is shown below So, the energy levels of impurity atom created in the semiconductor are close to the bottom of the conduction…
