If a small amount of antimony is added to germanium crystal

A

the antimony becomes an acceptor atom

B

there will be more free electrons than holes in the semiconductor

C

its resistance is increased

D

it becomes a p-type semiconductor

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
When a small amount antimony is added to germanium crystal becomes n-type semiconductor because antimony is a pentavalent substrate. It excess free electrons.
