In an extrinsic semiconductor,the number densities of holes and electrons are ${N_p}$ and ${N_e}$ respectively. Then:

  • A
    ${N_p} > {N_e}$
  • B
    ${N_p} = {N_e}$
  • C
    ${N_p} < {N_e}$
  • D
    ${N_p} > {N_e}$ or ${N_p} < {N_e}$ depends on the type of impurity.

When a small amount of impurity atoms are added to a semiconductor,then generally its resistivity:

Pure $Si$ at $500\, K$ has equal number of electron $(n_e)$ and hole $(n_h)$ concentrations of $1.5 \times 10^{16} \, m^{-3}$. Doping by indium increases $n_h$ to $4.5 \times 10^{22} \, m^{-3}$. The doped semiconductor is of:

For extrinsic semiconductors,when the doping level is increased:

$A$ silicon specimen is made into a $p$-type semiconductor by doping,on an average,one indium atom per $5 \times 10^7$ silicon atoms.
