To state the main current carrier in a p- type semi-conductor.
Answer to Problem 41A
The main current carrier in a p- type semiconductors are positively charged holes as there is a deficiency of electrons.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction: The energy level in a crystal and the energy level in a single atom of that element.
The main current carrier in a p- type semiconductors are positively charged holes because p- type semiconductors is formed by adding trivalent impurity, which has three valence electrons that results in deficiency of an electron which is known as holes and it behaves as a positively charged particles.
Conclusion: The main current carrier in a p- type semiconductors are positively charged holes as there is a deficiency of electrons.
