An intrinsic semiconductor is converted into n-type extrinsic semiconductor by doping it with

a
Germanium
b
Phosphorous
c
Aluminium
d
Silver

detailed solution

Correct option is B

When intrinsic semiconductor (Si or Ge) is doped with a pentavalent element, e.g. phosphorus (P), a n-type extrinsic semiconductor is created becausepentavalent dopant donates one extra electron for conduction.
