Chapter 9.7, Problem 13PE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The categorization of semiconductor formed on doping germanium with arsenic as $\text{n}-\text{type}$ or $\text{p}-\text{type}$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction: The $\text{n}-\text{type}$ semiconductor is formed on doping a semiconductor with an element having the valence electrons higher than the valence electrons of semiconductor.

The $\text{p}-\text{type}$ semiconductor is formed on doping a semiconductor with an element having the valence electrons lower than the valence electrons of semiconductor.

To determine: The category of semiconductor formed on doping germanium with arsenic as $\text{n}-\text{type}$ or $\text{p}-\text{type}$.
