N-type semiconductors are a type of extrinsic semiconductor where the dopant atoms (donors) are capable of providing extra conduction electrons to the host material (e.g. phosphorusin silicon). This creates an excess of negative (n-type) electron charge carriers.
because in n-type there is a real movement of a free negative charge(electrones not positive holes)
by adding pentavalent impurity in d pure semiconducters (like intrinsic semiconducters) is called n type semiconducters
In order to fabricate the p type and n type semiconductors..... we are doing the doping process.
when a p-n junction is formed electrons from the neutral N type goes to neutral P type. In the junction there will not be any electron or hole. In the junction because of earning electrons, P side becomes negative(ion) , & N side becomes positive(ion). So there will be a potential deference . This is known as the BARRIER......
A thyristor, which is a four-layer semiconductor device, has three junctions. These junctions are formed by the alternating layers of p-type and n-type materials, creating a structure of p-n-p-n. This configuration allows the thyristor to control current flow and function as a switch in various electronic applications.
since n type semiconductors have high mobility for electrons, they are preffered over ptype
Why n and p type semiconductors are electrically neutral
because in n-type there is a real movement of a free negative charge(electrones not positive holes)
Becoz the n-type semi-conductor is formed by the elements which are in stable state and has one more free electron with them......... Mostly n-type semi-conductor's are formed with the elements of the 1st and 3rd group elements which are rich in free electron's..........
N-type semiconductor materials which have free electrons,(which are negatively charged).P-type semiconductor materials which have too few electrons. Therefore the opposite of electrons - holes (which are negatively charged).You can think of it like positive and negative poles of a magnet.
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
P type semiconductors have been doped with trivalent elements, causing them to conduct via "hole" flow. N type semiconductors have been doped with pentavalent elements, causing them to conduct via electron flow.

N-type semiconductor contains extra electrons.

N-type semiconductor contains extra electrons.
In n-type semiconductor, electricity is conducted by NEGATIVE charges (electrons). In a p-type semiconductor, electricity is conducted by POSITIVE charges (holes).
