Physics Question on Semiconductor electronics: materials, devices and simple circuits

A semiconductor has an electron concentration of 8×1013/m3 8\times 10^{13}/m^{3} and hole concentration of 5.5×1012/m3 5.5\times 10^{12}/m^{3}. The semiconductor is

A

n-type

B

p-type

C

intrinsic semiconductor

D

p-n junction

Answer

n-type

Explanation

Solution

Electron concentration is greater than hole concentration in n-type semiconductor.
