How may the conductivity of an intrinsic semiconductor be increased ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The conductivity can be increased by doping either by adding electron rich impurities like that that of P, As etc. giving n -type semicomductor or by adding electron deficit impurities like that of B, Al etc. giving p -type semiconductor.
