Question
Chapter 21, Problem 21.21QP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The general characteristic of n-type semiconductors and p-type semiconductors has to be described.
Concept introduction:
n-type semiconductors: Solid semiconducting material having donor impurities are said to be n-type semiconductors, where “n” indicates negative which means the charge of the extra electron.
p-type semiconductors: Semiconducting material having acceptor impurities are said to be p-type semiconductors, where p indicates positive.
Donor impurities: Conduction elements producing impurities are said to be donor impurities.
Acceptor impurities: Impurities which are electron deficient are said to be acceptor impurities.
