In a p-type semiconductor, the?
A
number of holes are equal to the number of electrons
B
electrical resistivity increases
C
electrons are the majority charge carriers
D
holes are the majority charge carriers
Verified Correct Answer: D.
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Properties of p type semiconductor
This type of semiconductors form due to the doping trivalent atoms in a pure semiconductor crystal.
The majority carriers in p-type semiconductors are holes which have positive charges.
Minority carriers of this type semiconductors are free electrons.
