The energy band diagrams for three semiconductor samples of silicon are as shown. We can then assert that :-

  • A
    Sample $X$ is undoped while samples $Y$ and $Z$ have been doped with a third group and a fifth group impurity respectively.
  • B
    Sample $X$ is undoped while both samples $Y$ and $Z$ have been doped with a fifth group impurity.
  • C
    Sample $X$ has been doped with equal amounts of third and fifth group impurities while samples $Y$ and $Z$ are undoped.
  • D
    Sample $X$ is undoped while samples $Y$ and $Z$ have been doped with a fifth group and a third group impurity respectively.
