To determine which of the statements is correct, let's analyze each statement one by one. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement 1 **Statement 1:** Silicon doped with boron in n-type semiconductor. - **Analysis:** In n-type semiconductors, we require a dopant that provides extra electrons. Boron is a trivalent element (having three valence electrons), which means it cannot provide the necessary extra electrons. Instead, n-type semiconductors are typically doped with pentavalent elements (having five valence electrons), such as arsenic or antimony. Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement 2 ...
