The difference between the p-type and the n-type semiconductor is that the p-type semiconductor has more holes than electrons while the n-type semiconductor has more electrons than holes.

How is p type semiconductor formed?

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. ================================

Difference between intrinsic and exterinsic semiconductors?

Answer An intrinsic semiconductor is a pure semiconductor. An extrinsic semiconductor is doped with trivalent of pentavalent impurities. semiconductors allow only a little amount of electricity to pass through them.they are of two types - n type and p typeAre made of the semiconductor material in its purest from


How are N-type semiconductor used in semiconductor diode?

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.


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

Diffrentiate n-type and p-type?

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.
