प्रश्न
Silicon doped with electron-rich impurity forms ______.
विकल्प
p-type semiconductor
n-type semiconductor
intrinsic semiconductor
insulator
उत्तर
Silicon doped with electron-rich impurity forms n-type semiconductor.
Explanation:
Silicon has four valence electrons. If it is doped with an electron rich impurity, the extra electron becomes delocalised and increases the conductivity. Since the increase in conductivity is due to negatively charged electron, hence it is called n-type semiconductor.

Which kind of defects are introduced by doping?
Why are solids incompressible?
Assertion: Semiconductors are solids with conductivities in the intermediate range from 10–6 – 104 ohm–1m–1.
Reason: Intermediate conductivity in semiconductor is due to partially filled valence band.
