Practice question from chapter text

Distinguish intrinsic and doped semiconductors and name majority carriers in n-type and p-type material.

خالص و آمیزہ نیم موصل اورn وp قسم کے اکثریتی حامل بتائیں۔

Solution & explanation

Intrinsic material has thermally generated electrons and holes. Donor doping creates n-type material with electrons as majority mobile carriers; acceptor doping creates p-type with holes. The crystal remains approximately electrically neutral overall: n-type is not simply a net negatively charged piece.
