Question

State whether given statement is True or False
The p-n type junction can act as a semiconductor diode

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

A $p-n$ junction is a boundary or interface between two types of semiconductor material, p-type and n-type inside a single crystal of semiconductor.

The $p$ side contains excess of holes and $n$ side contains excess of electrons,

$p–n$ junctions are elementary building blocks of most semiconductor electronic devices such as diodes, transistors etc.

Therefore the $p-n$ junction can act as a semiconductor diode

So the given statement is TRUE
