MCQ
$p$ and $n-$type of semiconductors are formed due to
  • Covalent bonds
  • B
    Metallic bonds
  • C
    Ionic bonds
  • D
    Co-ordinate bond

Answer

Correct option: A.
Covalent bonds
a
Pentavalent impurities Impurity atoms with $5$ valence electrons produce $n-$ type semiconductors by contributing extra electrons. Trivalentimpurities Impurity atoms with $3$ valence electrons produce $p$ - type semiconductors by producing a "hole" or electron deficiency. The trivalent and pantavalent atoms need an additional electron to form covalent bonds.
