Questions
When added an impurity into the silicon, which one of the following produces n-type of semiconductors?
detailed solution
Correct option is C
Silicon has 4 valence electrons. When phosphorous with 5 valence electrons in its outermost orbit is added, then four of the five valence electrons of the impurity atom form covalent bonds with each valence electron of four silicon atoms and fifth valence electrons becomes free to move in the crystal. As the electrons are negative charge carriers, they are called n-type.Note: Aluminium has three valence electrons which gives rise to p-type crystal.Talk to our academic expert!
