Question

To make a p-type semiconductor, an intrinsic semiconductor is doped with __________.
  1. Gallium or indium
  2. Arsenic or phosphorus
  3. Aluminium or boron
  4. Both (1) and (3)

A
Both (1) and (3)
B
Gallium or indium
C
Aluminium or boron
D
Arsenic or phosphorus
Solution
Verified by Toppr

To make a p-type semiconductor, an intrinsic semiconductor is doped with an acceptor impurity i.e. an impurity which has 3 valence electrons in its outer orbit. Out of the options available, the trivalent atoms are gallium, indium, aluminum and Boron. So the answer is (d).
