Question
Draw the energy band diagrams of p-type and n-type semiconductors.
A semiconductor has equal electron and hole concentration 6 x 108 m–3. On doping with a certain impurity, electron concentration increases to 8 x 1012 m–3. Identify the type of semiconductor after doping.
Solution
Energy band for p-type and n-type semiconductor is as shown below:

Since, the electron concentration increases on doping, so the resulting semiconductor is of n-type.

Since, the electron concentration increases on doping, so the resulting semiconductor is of n-type.
