Question

State whether given statement is True or False
The depletion layer in the p-n junction region is caused by diffusion of carriers.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The depletion region is an insulating region within a conductive, doped semiconductor material where the mobile charge carriers have been diffused away, or have been forced away by the electric field. The only elements left in the depletion region is ionised ions or acceptor impurities.

The depletion region is formed from a conducting region by removing all free charge carriers.

Therefore the given statement is TRUE.

So the correct option is $A.$
