A (P type) semiconductor is formed by adding impurities, which provide extra holes.
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.
No, indium is not a p-type semiconductor on its own. Indium is typically used as a dopant in semiconductors to tune their electrical properties, such as increasing the conductivity or modifying the bandgap.
In an N-type semiconductor, majority current carriers are electrons, while minority current carriers are holes. In a P-type semiconductor, majority current carriers are holes, while minority current carriers are electrons.
a pure semiconductors with a valency of three doped with a trivalent element is called p-type and a pure semiconductors with a valency of three doped with a pentavalent element is called n-type

when p-type and n-type semiconductor materials are joined p-n junction diode is formed
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.
diode is made by joining a P and N type semiconductor materials
what is a semiconductor able to do that other materials cabbot
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. ================================

A diode has a n type and a p type materials that's why it's called a pn-junction device
A pn junction can be formed by bringing the p and n type materials together.
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.
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.
