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.
