Question
Which of the following is true about the charge acquired by p-type semiconductors?
Options
Positive
Neutral
Negative
Depends on concentration of p impurity
Advertisements
Solution
Neutral
Explanation:
p-type semiconductors by itself has mainly positively charged carriers (holes) which are able to move freely. It is however, still netural because the fixed acceptor atoms having accepted electrons are negative.
