Question

What do you understand by n and p type semiconductor in chemistry?

Answer 1

The term n-type comes from the negative charge of the electron. In n-type semiconductors, electrons are the majority carriers and holes are the minority carriers. N-type semiconductors are created by doping an intrinsic semiconductor with donor impurities. A common dopant for n-type silicon is phosphorus or arsenic.

P-Type Semiconductor. The addition of trivalent impurities such as boron, aluminum or gallium to an intrinsic semiconductor creates deficiencies of valence electrons, called "holes". It is typical to use $B_{2}H_{6}$ diborane gas to diffuse boron into the silicon material.
