Question
When an impurity is doped into semiconductor, the conductivity of the semiconductor:
✓
Answer
Increases
Explanation:
The pure semiconductor has less number of thermally generated charge carriers. But when it is doped with pentavalent or trivalent impurity atoms, the number of charge carriers i.e. electrons and holes increases. So conductivity increases.
