Distinguish between 'intrinsic' and 'extrinsic' semiconductors
In a p-type semiconductos, which of the following statement is true:
In p-type semiconductor, the dopant is ______.
In p-type semiconductor, ______.
Sn, C, and Si, Ge are all group XIV elements. Yet, Sn is a conductor, C is an insulator while Si and Ge are semiconductors. Why?
Suppose a ‘n’-type wafer is created by doping Si crystal having 5 × 1028 atoms/m3 with 1 ppm concentration of As. On the surface 200 ppm Boron is added to create ‘P’ region in this wafer. Considering n i = 1.5 × 1016 m–3, (i) Calculate the densities of the charge carriers in the n and p regions. (ii) Comment which charge carriers would contribute largely for the reverse saturation current when diode is reverse biased.
Name the extrinsic semiconductors formed when pure germanium is doped with a trivalent impurity. Draw the energy band diagram of extrinsic semiconductors so formed.
Name the extrinsic semiconductors formed when pure germanium is doped with a Pentavalent impurity. Draw the energy band diagram of extrinsic semiconductors so formed.
- Statement I: By doping silicon semiconductor with pentavalent material, the electrons density increases.
- Statement II: The n-type semiconductor has net negative charge. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
- Assertion (A): Putting the p-type semiconductor slab directly in physical contact with the n-type semiconductor slab cannot form the pn junction.
- Reason (R): The roughness at contact will be much more than inter atomic crystal spacing and continuous flow of charge carriers is not possible.
