Question
What is called extrinsic semiconductor? Explain doping process.
✓
Answer
Extrinsic semiconductor : The conductivity of intrinsic semiconductors is very low at room temperature. Therefore, to increase the conductivity, a small amount of certain element of the third or fifth group is added to the semiconductor. The semiconductor obtained in this way is called impurity semiconductor or extrinsic semiconductor.
Doping : The process of introducing impurity atoms into a intrinsic semiconductor is called doping.
To obtain extrinsic semiconductor, approximately from $(10)^6$ to $(10)^{10}$ atoms are one atom is of impurity element in intrinsic semiconductor.

The magnifying power of a converging lens used as a simple microscope is $\Big(1+\frac{\text{D}}{\text{f}}\Big).$ A compound microscope is a combination of two such converging lenses. Why don't we have magnifying power $\Big(1+\frac{\text{D}}{\text{f}_\text{o}}\Big) \Big(1+\frac{\text{D}}{\text{f}_\text{o}}\Big)?$ In other words, why can the objective not be treated as a simple microscope but the eyepiece can?
