when the electrical conductivity of a semiconductor is due to the breaking of its covalent bonds, then the semiconductor is said to be

A

Donor

B

Acceptor

C

Intrinsic

D

Extrinsic

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`underset("semiconductor") ("Intrinsic") to` Conductivity is due to the breaking of covalent bond `underset("semiconductor") ("Extrinsic") to` Conductivity is due to the breaking of covalent bond and excess of charge carriers due to impurity.
