प्रश्न
In a p-type semiconductos, which of the following statement is true:
पर्याय
Electrons are majority carriers and trivalent atoms are the dopants.
Electrons are minority carriers and pentavalent atoms are the dopants.
Holes are minority carriers and pentavalent atoms are the dopants.
Holes are majority carriers and trivalent atoms are the dopants.
उत्तर
Holes are majority carriers and trivalent atoms are the dopants.
Explanation:
In a p-type semiconductor, the holes are the majority carriers, while the electrons are the minority carriers. A p-type semiconductor is obtained when trivalent atoms, such as aluminium, are doped in silicon atoms.
