Physics Question on Semiconductor electronics: materials, devices and simple circuits
To obtain a p-type germanium semiconductor, it must be doped with
A
indium
B
phosphorus
C
arsenic
D
antimony.
Answer
indium
Explanation
Solution
In p type germanium semiconductor, it must be doped with a trivalent impurity atom. Since indium is a third group member, therefore germanium must be doped in indium.
