What is the difference between phosphorus doped and gallium doped semiconductors?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
- phosphorus doped semiconductor will be N type.
- gallium doped semiconductor will be P type.
There are also other differences due to the different size of the dopant atoms.

What can gallium create?
The chemical element gallium can create gallium compounds. Gallium nitrate is but one. There are many gallium compounds that are critical to the semiconductor industry, and life as we know it grinds to a halt without semiconductors.
Where you can find gallium at home?
You will not be able to find gallium around the house. Gallium, element number 31, does not occur in free form in nature. Gallium compounds can be found around the house in various electronics, such as microwave ovens and semiconductors, where it is either present as a gallium salt or an alloy.
Which element has the electron configuration that ends with 3p?
Aluminium, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine and argon have the valence electrons (1 to 6 respectively) ending in 3p level
Why germanium is not used as LED material?
LEDs are made from binary semiconductors (e.g. gallium aluminum indium phosphide) not unary semiconductors (e.g. silicon, germanium) because they can be made transparent to light. Silicon & germanium are opaque.
What type of materials do not conduct as well as metals do?
It is a semi-insulator, like silicon with gallium added or geranium with phosphorus added.
Difference between donor and acceptor impurities in semiconductors?
donor--arsenic, phosphorus, nitrogen acceptor--boron, aluminum, gallium
What is the difference between gallium nitrate and gallium maltolate?
Gallium nitrate: Ga2(NO3)3 Gallium maltolate: Ga(C6H5O3)3

What is the softest element on the earth?
There are quite a few, one is phosphorus in its allotrope known as white phosphorus.
What is a good example of a non insulator?
There are conductors, semiconductors and insulators. Conductors and semiconductors could be considered noninsulators, so I would say copper but if you want to use semiconductors instead you can say something like doped gallium.
Which element has the electron configuration that ends with 3p?
Aluminium, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine and argon have the valence electrons (1 to 6 respectively) ending in 3p level
What is the meaning of semiconductors?
Oversimplifying it significantly "not quite conductors". These are materials whose ability to conduct electricity is between conductors and insulators but can be very precisely controlled by doping with other elements as impurities, allowing the construction of electronic devices that can: control the direction of current flow, amplify signals, act as switches, perform boolean logic functions, etc. These materials can be classed as elemental semiconductors, binary semiconductors, other semiconductors. The elemental semiconductors are elements with 4 valence electrons that are not metals (e.g. silicon, germanium), the binary semiconductors are "alloys" of two elements: one with 3 valence electrons and the other with 5 valence electrons (e.g. gallium arsenide, indium phosphide), other semiconductors can be elements (e.g. selenium) compounds (e.g. galena, copper oxide) or complex "alloys" of several elements (e.g. gallium arsenide phosphide, aluminum gallium indium phosphide). The term semiconductors is also used to refer to the electronic devices mades of these materials.
What are the examples of p-type semiconductors?
Examples of p-type semiconductors include materials like boron-doped silicon, gallium arsenide, and aluminum gallium arsenide. These materials have a deficiency of electrons, leading to "holes" in the crystal lattice that behave as positive charges.
Is phosphorus a chemical?
If phosphorous occupie the gallium sites, it would be n type semiconductor since it has more number of valence electrons than gallium and if it occupie the sites of the arsenic sites there is no change since the valency of arsenic and phosphorous be the same
Why germanium is not used as LED material?
LEDs are made from binary semiconductors (e.g. gallium aluminum indium phosphide) not unary semiconductors (e.g. silicon, germanium) because they can be made transparent to light. Silicon & germanium are opaque.
Which element has an atomic mass of 31?
The atomic mass of Phosphorus is 30.9738. However, Gallium has an atomic number of 31.
