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.
Germenium and silicon are the examples of Semiconductors.

Those semiconductors in which some impurity atoms are embedded are known as extrinsic semiconductors.
many of them.
The indirect band gap semiconductors like silicon and germanium are mostly used because they are elemental, plentiful, and easier to process than the direct band gap semiconductors which are alloys or compounds.
since n type semiconductors have high mobility for electrons, they are preffered over ptype
Transitor
Application of semiconductors
In semiconductor two charge carriers are present i.e holes and electrons.The current is rate of flow of charges.so in ptype semiconductor the current is the sum of current due to holes and electrons.But current due to holes is more compsred to electrons in ptype.
Metalloids and semiconductors have similar properties due to their intermediate characteristics between metals and nonmetals. Both can conduct electricity to some extent, with metalloids having properties of both conductors and insulators, while semiconductors are used in electronic devices due to their ability to control the flow of current.
Transistors are made out of semiconductors, yes.

semiconductors
Metalloids when used is electronics are called semiconductors.
NXP Semiconductors was created in 2006.
The population of NXP Semiconductors is 28,150.
The population of Horizon Semiconductors is 120.
