Questions  

To convert an intrinsic semiconductor to an extrinsic one with electrons as majority carriers, the intrinsic semiconducting material must be doped with

a
group III element
b
group IV element
c
group V element
d
none of these

detailed solution

Correct option is C

For the semiconductor to have majority carriers as electron, it must be doped with group v element. Because four electrons will make covalent bonds with intrinsic one and one electron for every doping atom will remain free and won't form any covalent bond with the host atom.
