Question

Statement: $Si$ becomes an $n-$type semiconductor when doped with group $15$ element $(P,As)$.

State whether the given statement is true or false.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

n -type semiconductor: The semiconductor whose increased conductivity is a result of negatively-charged electrons is called an n -type semiconductor. When the crystal of a group 14 element such as Si or Ge is doped with a group 15 element such as P or As, an n -type semiconductor is generated.
