In n-type semiconductor, electricity is conducted by NEGATIVE charges (electrons). In a p-type semiconductor, electricity is conducted by POSITIVE charges (holes).
since n type semiconductors have high mobility for electrons, they are preffered over ptype
Application of semiconductors
Transistors are made out of semiconductors, yes.
In semiconductor two charge carriers are present i.e holes and electrons.The current is rate of flow of charges.so in ptype semiconductor the current is the sum of current due to holes and electrons.But current due to holes is more compsred to electrons in ptype.
semiconductors
NXP Semiconductors was created in 2006.
The population of NXP Semiconductors is 28,150.
The population of Horizon Semiconductors is 120.
The population of Horizon Semiconductors is 2,007.
Metalloids when used is electronics are called semiconductors.

Intrinsic refers to the doping -- intrinsic semiconductors are not doped. Whether compound or not, if they are not doped they are intrinsic.
