Interpretation:
The type of semiconductor is formed when germanium is doped with arsenic has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Semiconductors are the substances that have electrical conductivity between conductors and insulators such as materials of silicon and germanium.
p-type semiconductors are those that have positive charge of holes in large concentration than the electrons. In this, majority carriers are holes and minority carriers are electrons. It is formed by doping trivalent elements that have 3 valence electrons with group 14 elements.
n-type semiconductors are those that have electrons in large concentration than the holes. In this majority carriers are electrons and minority carriers are holes. It is formed by doping pentavalent elements that have 5 valence electrons with group 14 elements.
