CdS is considered as n-type semiconductor because of the deficiency of sulfur. This creates vacancies with a high electron affinity and causes CdS to acquire electrons easily.
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.
it would be a n-type semiconductor because phosphorus has more valence electrons than silicon does.
silicon is intrinsic semiconductor until we add some impurities in it. the impurities are either of group 3 called acceptors which make p type or of group 5 called donors which make n type semiconductor.
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.
A transistor is a three-terminal device consisting of 3 layers of semiconductor material. Two of them are one type of semiconductor and the third, a different type. For example, a PNP transistor consists of 2 layers of P-type semiconductor and a layer of N-type semiconductor between them. We can also have the NPN type transistor which has 2 layers of N-type semiconductor and a layer of P-type semiconductor between them. The three terminals are respectively referred to as emitter, base and collector. Transistors are widely used electronic components that perform the function of a switch or an amplifier. The semiconductor material used in transistors is generally silicon, germanium or gallium arsenide. Impurities are added to them in order to create electrically positive (P) or electrically negative (N) behavior. When these layers are joined together the contact potential creates a potential barrier across the PN or NP junction. This potential barrier maintains electrons on the N side and holes on the P side. NPN stands for negative positive negative PNP stands for positive negative positive. GALLIUM ARSENIDE is only used on LEDS manufacturing not transistors ANSWER: NPN negative positive negative SUBSTRATE PNP is opposite of NPN

N is the type of semiconductor, MOS refers to Metal Oxide Semiconductor device.
band diagram of p type semiconductor
p-type semiconductor is obtained by carrying out a process of doping that is by adding a certain type of atoms to the semiconductor in order to increase the number of the free charge carriers.
In n-type semiconductor, electricity is conducted by NEGATIVE charges (electrons). In a p-type semiconductor, electricity is conducted by POSITIVE charges (holes).
N is the type of semiconductor, MOS refers to Metal Oxide Semiconductor device.
N-type semiconductor contains extra electrons.
N- Type and P- Type :)
An n-type semiconductor is formed by doping a pure semiconductor (silicon or germanium, for example) with atoms of a Group V element, typically phosphorus or arsenic. The dopant may be introduced when the crystal is formed or later, by diffusion or ion implantation.
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. ================================
