Which one of the following statements is true? A p-type semiconductor is doped with
trivalent impurity and electrons are majority carriers.
pentavalent impurity and electrons are minority carriers.
pentavalent impurity and holes are minority carriers.
trivalent impurity and holes are majority carriers.
Solution
The correct option is 2 Holes are the majority carriers and trivalent atoms are the dopants.Explanation:In p-type semiconductor an intrinsic semiconductor is doped with trivalent impurities that creates deficiencies of valence electrons called holes which are majority charge carriers.
