Solution
p - type semi-conductors are made by mixing silicon with impurities of boron.
Explanation:
This is because boron is a trivalent element (group 13) having three valence electrons, one fewer than silicon's four. When boron replaces silicon atoms in the crystal lattice, it causes a one-electron deficiency, resulting in a “hole” that works as a positive charge carrier, hence the “p-type” classification.
