प्रश्न
Two crystals C1 and C2, made of pure silicon, are doped with arsenic and aluminium respectively.
Identify the extrinsic semiconductors so formed.

उत्तर
Arsenic is pentavalent. So, C1 doped with arsenic will form an n-type semiconductor.
Aluminium is trivalent. So, C2 doped with aluminium will form a p-type semiconductor.

- Assertion (A): Putting the p-type semiconductor slab directly in physical contact with the n-type semiconductor slab cannot form the pn junction.
- Reason (R): The roughness at contact will be much more than inter atomic crystal spacing and continuous flow of charge carriers is not possible.
