Question

Which of the statements given in Exercise 14.1 is true for p-type semiconductos.

Answer 1

A p-type semiconductor is formed when trivalent atoms or impurities such as gallium, aluminium are added in an intrinsic semiconductor and these trivalent impurities are known as dopants.

In a p-type semiconductor, the holes are the majority charge carriers and electrons are the minority charge carriers.

Hence, the correct statement is (d).
