A pure semiconductors

A semiconductor is known to have an electron concentration of 6xx10^(12) per cubic centimeter and a hole concentration of 9xx10^(13) per cubic centimeter. Is this semiconductor N-type or P-type ?

A semiconductor is known to have an electron concentration of 6xx10^(12) per cubic centimeter and a hole concentration of 8xx10^(13) per cubic centimeter. Is this semiconductor N-type or P-type ?

n-type semiconductor is

A: When a pure semiconductor is doped with a pentavalent impurity, the number of conduction electrons is increased while the number of holes is decreased R: Some of the holes get recombined with the conduction electrons as the concentration of the conduction electrons is increased.

In a semiconductor,

A: The conductivity of a pure semiconductor increases on doping R: Doping causes the reduction in bond strength.

Assertion : A pure semiconductor has negative temperature coefficient of resistance. Reason: On raising the temperature, more charge carriers are released,. conductance increases and resistance decreases.
