Carbon , silicon and germanium have four valence elcectrons each . These are characterised by valence and conduction bands separated by energy band - gap respectively equal to ` (E_g)_(c) (E_g)_(si) ` and ` (E_g)_(Ge) `. Which of the following statements ture ?

A

n - intrinsic-p

B

p - intrinsic- n

C

intrinsic-p -n

D

intrinsic-N-p

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
In intrinsic semiconductor, `E_f` lies in the middle of the energy gap. In p-type it is near the conduction band. In n-type it is near the V-band.
`therefore` The semiconductors are intrinsic, n and p.
