A perfect crystal of silicon is doped with some elements as given in the options. Which of these options show n-type semiconductors?
A perfect crystal of silicon is doped with some elements as given in the options. Which of these options show n-type semiconductors?

Correct Answers:

Option (i)

Option (iii)

Explanation:  N-type semiconductors are prepared by inserting a complete silicon crystal (Si) with pentavalent elements of group 15 like P and As. Some lattice sites in silicon crystal remain with the fifth remaining electron as an additional electron and have not been able to form a bond with tetravalent Si.
