If we mix a pentavalent impurity in a crystal lattice of germanium, what type of semiconductor formation will occur ?

A

p-type

B

n-type

C

Both (A) and (B)

D

None the two

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

On adding a pentavalent impurity with germanium, we get n-type of semiconductors because excess of electrons is responsible for conduction.
