When silicon is doped with phosphorous what type of semiconductor results?
it would be a n-type semiconductor because phosphorus has more valence electrons than silicon does.
Is silicon a extrinsic or intrinsic semiconductor?
silicon is intrinsic semiconductor until we add some impurities in it. the impurities are either of group 3 called acceptors which make p type or of group 5 called donors which make n type semiconductor.
Why is silicon not used in fabrication of LED?
Silicon is an indirect band gap semiconductor
Can you dope a semiconductor with holes instead of electrons?
Doping with Group III elements, which are missing the fourth valence electron, creates "broken bonds" (holes) in the silicon lattice that are free to move. The result is an electrically conductive p-type semiconductor.
Why Si is used than Ge in semiconductor diode?
silicon diodes Cut in voltage is 0.7 V.but the Germanium cut in voltage is 0.3 V that's why .............
What is the most familiar semiconductor?
silicon and germanium

What semiconductor is used in calculators?
Silicon based semiconductors are the most commonly used semiconductor material in calculators. Silicon semiconductors are also extensively used in computers.
Why is silicon a good conductor of electricity?
Silicon is not a good conductor. It is a semiconductor.
Give a example of a semiconductor?
