p-type or n-type semiconductor alone is of very limited use in chips -- you can only make a thin-film resistor or parallel-plate capacitor with it. You also need the opposite type, the n-type semiconductor, to make junction diodes and MOS or bipolar transistors, which are essential components in an integrated circuit.

Why p type semiconductor has majority charge carrier as hole?
The majority carrier in p-type semiconductor is the hole. Electron carriers in p-type semiconductor are minority carriers. Minority carriers in any semiconductor are produced mainly by heat. Only at absolute zero temperature would there be no minority carriers.
What is pnp resistor?
PNP stands forÊjunction transistor having an n-type semiconductorÊ setting between a p-type semiconductor as emitter and a p-type semiconductor as a collector.
What is p type silicon substrate?
Wafers are formed of highly pure defect-free single crystalline material. Donor impurity atoms, can be added to the molten intrinsic material changing it into n-type or p-type extrinsic semiconductor.
What is a p plus type semiconductor?
This just means that the semiconductor has extra holes in it. On the order of 10^6 I believe.
What you understand by the term intrinsic semiconductor and how an intrinsic semiconductor is turned into either a p type or an n type material?
An intransic material is a material that have been used in doping process.There are two type of intrinsic material n type and p type.
How are P- type semiconductor materials formed?
A (P type) semiconductor is formed by adding impurities, which provide extra holes.
What is the nature of bonds in N type and P type semi conductors?
The bonds in a N type or a P type semiconductor depends upon the impurity added into it. For example a trivalent impurity is added then three bonds will be formed by each atom and it becomes a P-type semiconductor whereas if a pentavalent impurity is added then five bonds will be formed by each and every atom and it becomes a N-type semiconductor.
How are transistors made?
when p-type and n-type semiconductor materials are joined p-n junction diode is formed
What are the examples of p-type semiconductors?
Examples of p-type semiconductors are silicon doped with gallium and silicon doped with boron. P-type semiconductor refers to positive type doping of semiconductor.
IS indium a p type semiconductor?
yes
Diffrentiate n-type and p-type?
When pentavalent impurity is added to pure semiconductor, it is known as N-Type semiconductor. In N-type semiconductor electrons are majority carriers where as holes are minority carriers. impurities such as Arsenic, antimony are added. When trivalent impurity is added to pure semiconductor, it is know as P-type semiconductor. In P-type semiconductor holes are majority carriers whereas electrons are minority carriers. Impurities such as indium, galium are added.
Why p type semiconductor has majority charge carrier as hole?
The majority carrier in p-type semiconductor is the hole. Electron carriers in p-type semiconductor are minority carriers. Minority carriers in any semiconductor are produced mainly by heat. Only at absolute zero temperature would there be no minority carriers.
What is the term for a semiconductor that is missing electrons?
