Answer the followings for question 2: 

Question 2 (a) In the context of semiconductors, (i) (ii) (iii) name the process that creates an extrinsic semiconductor; what is the majority carrier in a n-type semiconductor? explain in your own words how the minority carrier is generated in an extrinsic semiconductor. (b) Draw a simplified 2D diagram to represent a p-type silicon crystal lattice. Your diagram should include the silicon atoms, an impurity atom and the covalent bonds. Name the type of the impurty atom. (c) In the context of p-n junction diodes, (i) (ii) explain what is meant by diffusion of carrier through a semiconductor; when a p-n junction is being formed, what is the process that prevents further diffusion to reach an equilibrium state?
