In a n-type semiconductor, which of the following statement is true:
A
Holes are majority carriers and trivalent atoms are dopants.
B
Electrons are majority carriers and trivalent atoms are dopants.
C
Electrons are minority carriers and pentavalent atoms are dopants.
D
Holes are minority carriers and pentavalent atoms are dopants.
Detailed Solution
An n-type semiconductor is made by doping with pentavalent atoms. Electrons are the majority carriers and holes are the minority carriers.
