Question
In an n-type silicon, which of the following statement is true:
(a) Electrons are majority carriers and trivalent atoms are the dopants.
(b) Electrons are minority carriers and pentavalent atoms are the dopants.
(c) Holes are minority carriers and pentavalent atoms are the dopants.
(d) Holes are majority carriers and trivalent atoms are the dopants.
Solution
N-type semiconductor is obtained by doping the Ge or Si with pentavalent atoms and also, electrons are majority carriers and holes are minority carriers.
Hence answer (c) is true.
Hence answer (c) is true.
