MCQ
A semiconductor $X$ is made by doping a germanium crystal with arsenic $(Z = 33).$ A second semiconductor $Y$ is made by doping germanium with indium $(Z = 49).$ The two are joined end to end and connected to a battery as shown. Which of the following statements is correct
  • A
    $X$ is $P-$type, $Y$ is $N-$type and the junction is forward biased
  • B
    $X$ is $N-$type, $Y$ is $P-$type and the junction is forward biased
  • C
    $X$ is $P-$type, $Y$ is $N-$type and the junction is reverse biased
  • $X$ is $N-$type, $Y$ is $P-$type and the junction is reverse biased

Answer

Correct option: D.
$X$ is $N-$type, $Y$ is $P-$type and the junction is reverse biased
$X$ is $N-$type, $Y$ is $P-$type and the junction is reverse biased
