Question 281

Which of the following semiconductor materials contains excess free electrons?

  1. N-typeCorrect answer
  2. P-type
  3. Bipolar
  4. Insulated gate

Explanation

Doping silicon with a pentavalent donor element leaves one electron per impurity atom that no bond needs, so the majority carriers are free electrons — that is exactly what N-type names. P-type is the mirror case with excess holes, while bipolar and insulated gate name device structures rather than materials.
