What is meant by the term doping of an intrinsic semiconductor ? How does it affect the conductivity of a semiconductor ?

Answer»

Solution :Doping of an intrinsic semiconductor means DELIBERATELY introducing a controlled quantity (generally 1 part in `10^(6)` parts or 0.0001%) of impurity element which is either pentavalent or trivalent so as to obtain -type and p-type semiconductors, RESPECTIVELY.
The electrical conductivity of an extrinsic semiconductor formed as a result of doping is many fold increased as COMPARED to that of undoped intrinsic semiconductor.
