a

Fermi-level of p-type semiconductors will go upward for Fermi-level of n-type semiconductors will go downward. 
 

b

Fermi-level of both p-type and n-type semiconductors will go upward for T>TFK and Downward T<TFK, where TF is Fermi temperature. 



 

c

Fermi-level of p-type semiconductors will go downward and Fermi-level of n-type Semiconductor will go upward 
 

d

Fermi-level of p and n-type semiconductors will not be affected. 
 

answer is A.

Detailed Solution

  • Pentavalent impurity is added to N-type semiconductors. A free electron is donated by each pentavalent impurity. As a result, the N-type semiconductor's Fermi level will rise.
  • On the other hand, trivalent impurity is added to P-type semiconductors. The valence band is pierced by each trivalent impurity. As a result, the P-type semiconductor's Fermi level will decrease.

Hence the correct answer is Fermi-level of p-type semiconductors will go downward and Fermi-level of n-type Semiconductor will go upward .
