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......
Type 1 Semiconductors: The bandgap of one semiconductor is completely contained in the bandgap of the other one. In double heterostructure design carriers will be confined in the smaller bandgap material. this structure is used to form barrier/quantum well in Multi quantum well lasers and LEds Type II: like Type I The bandgap of the two materials overlap but the changes in the conduction and valence bands change sign. this type of materials do not use for light emiiting application as carriers can not be confined.
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).
