Question

define p-type semiconductor. [chemisty: Solid state]

Answer 1

 When semi-conductors like Ge ,etc. are doped with electron-rich impurities such as P , n -type semi-conductor is obtained, and when doped with electron-deficient impurities, p -type semi-conductor is obtained.

Answer 2

In p-type semiconductors, holes are the majority carriers and electrons are the minority carriers. P-type semiconductorsare created by doping an intrinsicsemiconductor with acceptor impurities (or doping an n-type semiconductor). A common p-type dopant for silicon is boron. hope it help
