Why for making an n-type semiconductor silicon or germanium is doped with only fifteenth group element like phosphorus?

in silicon or germanium, the valence shell contain 4 electrons. in order to attain stability, they need 4 more electrons, so we doping it either with trivalent or pentavalent impurities. if we are doping semiconductor with any of these, we call it as an extrinsic semiconductor if we are using pentavalent impurity such as phosphorous, there will be an extra electron,which will go to conduction band. we know electron has negative charge therefore we call it as n-type semiconductor

Is pure silicon a semiconductor?

A silicon chip is a structure created by people using machines. The structure consists of a base, made of silicon with a small amount of other elements added, so this part is a mixture. The chip also has wiring and transistors printed on it, thus making the entire chip a structure rather than a mixture or pure substance.
