Question

Can you determine the type of semiconductor and concentration of charge
carriers with the help of Hall Coefficient? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

We can easily identify whether a semiconductor is p-type or n-type by using Hall Effect. If the voltage produced is positive then the material is said to be p-type and if the voltage produced is negative then the material is said to be n-type.

Answer 2

Explanation:

We can easily identify whether a semiconductor is p-type or n-type by using Hall Effect. If the voltage produced is positive then the material is said to be p-type and if the voltage produced is negative then the material is said to be n-type.

The easiest would be judging form the periodic table. If the dopant has more electrons in the outer shell than the semiconductor material, it's going to be n-type, and with less electrons in the outer shell, it's p-type. At least for Group IV semiconductors (Si, Ge).
