A n-type semiconductor has a large number of free electrons but still is electrically neutral. Explain.

Answer»

Solution :An n-type semiconductor is obtained by doping a pentavalent IMPURITY ATOMS in GE or Si. The four electrons of pentavalent impurity take PART in covalent bonding and fifth electron is free. SINCE each atom of the semiconductor is electrically neutral, the n-type semiconductor is also netural.
