Physically joining p-type and n-type slabs doesn’t form a proper p-n junction because their crystal lattices remain discontinuous at the interface, causing defects. True p-n junctions are created by doping a single crystal to ensure lattice continuity, enabling the essential diffusion of charge carriers and formation of a depletion region.
The depletion region in a p-n junction is the area near the junction where free electrons and holes recombine, leaving behind fixed ions. This creates an electric field, prevents further charge carrier movement, and acts as an insulating barrier. For more visit here: https://www.tiwariacademy.com/ncRead more

An extrinsic semiconductor is a material whose electrical conductivity is enhanced by doping it with impurities. These impurities introduce free electrons (n-type) or holes (p-type), significantly increasing charge carrier concentration compared to a pure, intrinsic semiconductor. For more visit herRead more

The conductivity of an n-type semiconductor is greater than that of a p-type because electrons, the majority carriers in n-type, have higher mobility than holes, the majority carriers in p-type, even with the same doping level.

Why can’t we take one slab of p-type semiconductor and physically join it to another slab of n-type semiconductor to get p – n junction?

Why is the conductivity of n-type semiconductor greater than that of the p-type semiconductor even when both of these have same level of doping?
The conductivity of an n-type semiconductor is greater than that of a p-type because electrons, the majority carriers in n-type, have higher mobility than holes, the majority carriers in p-type, even with the same doping level.
