MCQ
Semiconductors are generally made up of which substance?
  • A
    Silicon
  • B
    Carbon
  • C
    Phosphorus
  • D
    Boron

Answer

  1. Silicon

Explanation:

Semiconductors are made of Si, generally. Because Si is the second most abundant element in earth's crust after oxygen and is less expensive than other semiconductors used in intrinsic semiconductors.
