Important Questions on Basics of Doping
A silicon specimen is made into a -type semiconductor by doping, on an average, one indium atom per silicon atoms. If the number density of atoms in the silicon specimen is atoms , then the number of acceptor atoms in silicon per cubic centimeter will be


Which of the following is an extrinsic semiconductor?

If and be the numbers of holes and conduction electrons in an extrinsic semiconductor, then :-

The number of silicon atoms per is . This is doped simultaneously with atoms per of Arsenic and per atoms of indium. Calculate the number of electrons and holes. Given that . Is the material n-type or p-type?

Which group elements can be used to dope with to get a semiconductor.

Would there be any advantage in adding -type or -type impurities to copper

Assertion: In n-type semiconductor electrons in conduction band is more than holes in valance band.
Reason: Only electrons are produced when pentavalent impurity is added to pure semiconductor.
