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

Solution
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.
