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.

Why N Type Semiconductors are preferred over P Type Semiconductors?

since n type semiconductors have high mobility for electrons, they are preffered over ptype

Why conductivity of n-type semiconductors is greater than p-type semiconductors?

because in n-type there is a real movement of a free negative charge(electrones not positive holes)


Why electrons are majority carrier in n type semiconductor?

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..........


How are n-type and p-type semiconductors similar?

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.


What is the difference between p-type and n-type semiconductor?

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


What are p type semiconductors?

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.


Pentavalent elements are added to intrinsic semiconductors elements to produce what type?

What is the term for a semiconductors that contains electrons?

N-type semiconductor contains extra electrons.


How do you obtain n type semiconductors?

by adding pentavalent impurity in d pure semiconducters (like intrinsic semiconducters) is called n type semiconducters


What is the term for semiconductors that contains extra electrons?

N-type semiconductor contains extra electrons.


What is an explanation of n-type and p-type semiconductors?

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