Type: MCQ-diagram based-Easy-Class 12
Consider a semiconductor doped with a pentavalent impurity. This type of semiconductor is shown in a diagram with labeled majority and minority carriers. Which of the following is the correct labeling of carriers in an n-type semiconductor?
A
Electrons as majority carriers, holes as minority carriers
B
Holes as majority carriers, electrons as minority carriers
C
Electrons as minority carriers, holes as majority carriers
D
Holes as minority carriers, electrons as majority carriers
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
In an n-type semiconductor, electrons are the majority carriers and holes are the minority carriers as the semiconductor is doped with a pentavalent impurity.
