A semiconductor is known to have an electron concentric of `8xx10^(13)//cm^(3)` and hole concentration of `5xx10^(12)//cm^(3)`. The semiconductor is

A

n-type

B

p-type

C

Intrinsic semiconductor

D

None of the above

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
As concentration of electrons in semiconductor is more than that of hole. So semiconductor is n-type.
