there are two possibilities 1>breaking of bonding with a nighbouring atom and again it'll be acquire intrinsic property.
2>there two free holes available formed then p=Nd/2
for hexa-valent n=Na/2

What will happen when doped semiconductor is heated will its conductivity increase or decrease?
Doping a semiconductor means to introduce impurities to the semiconductor in order to alter it. For the most part, doping a semiconductor increases its conductivity.
What is the process of adding some impurities to semiconductor material?
Its called doping.
How the breakdown voltage of a particular diode can be controlled?
By Varying the impurity concentration
What can be viva question from the transistor characteristics in common emitter?
Transistor Characteristics1) What is transistor? what are the types of transistors?Ans: Transistor is a three terminal semiconductor device.There are two types of semiconductor i.e,. n-p-n and p-n-p.2) Define n-type and p-type semiconductors.Ans: If an intrinsic semiconductoris doped with pentavalent impurity. Then it is called n-type semiconductors.If it is doped with trivalent impurity then it is called p-type semiconductor.3) What is doping?Ans: Adding trivalent or pentavalent impurity to an intrinsic semiconductor is called doping.4. What are three basic transistor connection modes? Which mode is most preferred? Why?Ans: Common-Emitter, Common-Base & Common-Collector connections.CE mode is most preferred because CE modes gives Highest voltage gain.5. Define current amplification factor of a transistor?Ans: It is defined as ratio of change in collector current to change in base current.7. What is the biasing rule of transistor?Ans: Emitter base junction should be forward biased and collector base junction should be reversed biased.8. What is semiconductor?Ans: Semiconductor is a substance which has the resistivity in between that of conductor and insulator. semiconductor has negative temperature coefficient of resistance.9) Which are the commonly used semiconductors?Ans: Germanium & Silicon
What are trivalent and pentavalent impurities?
Doping is the process of adding impurity atoms to intrinsic silicon or germanium to improve the conductivity of the semiconductor. The term impurity is used to describe the doping elements. Two element types are used for doping: trivalent and pentavalent. A trivalent element is one that has three valence electrons A pentavalent element is one that has five valence electrons. When trivalent atoms are added to intrinsic semiconductors, the resulting material is called a p-type material. When pentavalent impurity atoms are used, the resulting material is called an n-type material. The most commonly used doping elements are listed below. Commonly Used Doping Elements Trivalent Impurities To make p-type Aluminum (Al) Gallium (Ga) Boron (B) Indium (In) Pentavalent Impurities To make n-type Phosphorus (P) Arsenic (As) Antimony (Sb) Bismuth (Bi)
Use hexavalent or divalent impurity in diode?
Called "doping" forget specifics--studied long ag
What do you call of a semiconductor decreases while doping increases?
Impurity
What is mean by doping?
Doping is a process of adding some impurity in pure material or pure semiconductor.
What is mean by doping procesess?
Doping is a process of adding some impurity in pure material or pure semiconductor.
How the n type and p type semiconductor is joint without adding any impurity?
doping
What is doping in conductor?
The process of adding suitable impurities in the intrinsic semiconductor is called doping. The impurity added to the intrinsic semiconductor to increase its conductivity is called dopant. There are some methods of doping in case of a conductor.impurity atoms can be added to the intrinsic semiconductor in different ways discussed below:A very small quantity of impurity atoms is made by diffusing into the high purity molten material such as germanium when the crystal is grown out of melt.Impurity atoms can also be added into the intrinsic semiconductor by heating it in the environment having impurity atoms.Impurity atoms can also be added into the intrinsic semiconductor by bombarding it with the impurity atoms.
What effect do added impurities have on semiconductor conductivity?
It is called as DOPING. Doping is the process in which you add an impurity to a pure semiconductor to increase its conductivity. While doping is done, crystal structure of semiconductor is not disturbed.
What will happen when doped semiconductor is heated will its conductivity increase or decrease?
Doping a semiconductor means to introduce impurities to the semiconductor in order to alter it. For the most part, doping a semiconductor increases its conductivity.
How can you increase number of free electron and holes in semi conductor?
1.By doping 2.by shining light on the surface of semiconductor materials 3.by increasing temperature
Will a semiconductor remain electrically neutral after doping?
Yes
Why for making an n-type semiconductor silicon or germanium is doped with only fifteenth group element like phosphorus?
in silicon or germanium, the valence shell contain 4 electrons. in order to attain stability, they need 4 more electrons, so we doping it either with trivalent or pentavalent impurities. if we are doping semiconductor with any of these, we call it as an extrinsic semiconductor if we are using pentavalent impurity such as phosphorous, there will be an extra electron,which will go to conduction band. we know electron has negative charge therefore we call it as n-type semiconductor
What is doping in chemistry?
Addition of small amount of foreign impurity in the host crystal is known as doping. It increases the electrical conductivity.
