In a -type semiconductor, which of the following statement is true?
- A Holes are majority carriers and trivalent atoms are the dopants
- B Electrons are minority carriers and pentavalent atoms are the dopants
- C Electrons are majority carriers and trivalent atoms are the dopants
- D Holes are minority carriers and pentavalent atoms are the dopants
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Holes are majority carriers and trivalent atoms are the dopants
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In p-type semiconductor, trivalent impurities are added to an intrinsic semiconductor, which creates holes which are majority charge carriers.
