Everything that exists in the world except for a light ray or an electrical discharge such as lightening is a chemical! A semiconductor is a type of chemical. It is made from elements with valences of 3, 4, or 5.
The majority carrier in p-type semiconductor is the hole. Electron carriers in p-type semiconductor are minority carriers. Minority carriers in any semiconductor are produced mainly by heat. Only at absolute zero temperature would there be no minority carriers.
PNP stands forÊjunction transistor having an n-type semiconductorÊ setting between a p-type semiconductor as emitter and a p-type semiconductor as a collector.
p-type or n-type semiconductor alone is of very limited use in chips -- you can only make a thin-film resistor or parallel-plate capacitor with it. You also need the opposite type, the n-type semiconductor, to make junction diodes and MOS or bipolar transistors, which are essential components in an integrated circuit. ================================
This just means that the semiconductor has extra holes in it. On the order of 10^6 I believe.
An n-type semiconductor is formed by doping a pure semiconductor (silicon or germanium, for example) with atoms of a Group V element, typically phosphorus or arsenic. The dopant may be introduced when the crystal is formed or later, by diffusion or ion implantation.
what is a semiconductor material? what are its main types, explain each type
covalent
When pentavalent impurity is added to pure semiconductor, it is known as N-Type semiconductor. In N-type semiconductor electrons are majority carriers where as holes are minority carriers. impurities such as Arsenic, antimony are added. When trivalent impurity is added to pure semiconductor, it is know as P-type semiconductor. In P-type semiconductor holes are majority carriers whereas electrons are minority carriers. Impurities such as indium, galium are added.
p-type semiconductor is obtained by carrying out a process of doping that is by adding a certain type of atoms to the semiconductor in order to increase the number of the free charge carriers.

N is the type of semiconductor, MOS refers to Metal Oxide Semiconductor device.
it is like p type semiconductor because when adding impurity its conductivity decreases
N is the type of semiconductor, MOS refers to Metal Oxide Semiconductor device.
N-type semiconductor contains extra electrons.
