ThefF (E) decreases in which of the following band for p-type semiconductor?(a) Conduction band(b) Donor band(c) Acceptor band(d) Valence bandThis question was posed to me in an interview.This intriguing question originated from Charge Densities in a Semiconductor impurities topic in chapter Conduction in Semiconductors of Electronic Devices & Circuits

Answer» CORRECT choice is (a) Conduction BAND

Easiest explanation: The probability of FINDING the electron in the conduction band DECREASES for a p-type semiconductor because in a p-type semiconductor, the holes will be in conduction band RATHER than the electrons.
