MCQ
The impurity atoms with which pure silicon may be doped to make it a p-type semiconductor are those of:
  • A
    Phosphorus.
  • B
    Boron.
  • C
    Aluminium.
  • B and C both

Answer

Correct option: D.
B and C both
Explanation:
A p-type semiconductor is formed by doping an intrinsic semiconductor with a trivalent atom (atom having valency 3). As phosphorous and boron have three valence electrons, they can be doped with silicon to make a p-type semiconductor.
