If silicon is doped with phosphorus, what type of semiconductor material will be formed?
- Zener material
- P-n junction
-
n-type
- p-type
The correct answer is: C
Explanation
When silicon is doped with a trivalent atom. A p-type semi-conductor will be formed when silicon is doped with a pentavalent atom such as arsenic, a n-type semi-conductor will be formedPhosphorous is a pentavalent element, so it will produce a o -type semi-conductor
There is an explanation video available .
