A thin layer on both sides of the p – n junction which is devoid of free electrons and holes and contains mostly immobile ions is called depletion region. Class 12 Physics Chapter 14 Semiconductor Electronics Session 2024-2025.
In a n-type semiconductor dopant is pentavalent and electrons are majority charge carriers. However, a trivalent material is used as a dopant to obtain p-type semiconductor and holes are the majority charge carriers. Class 12 Physics Chapter 14 Semiconductor Electronics ...
Extrinsic semiconductor is a pure semiconductor doped with controlled quantity of either a trivalent or a pentavalent impurity. Class 12 Physics Chapter 14 Semiconductor Electronics Session 2024-2025.
The process of adding either pentavalent or trivalent impurity in a controlled and small quantity in a pure semiconducting material is called doping. Class 12 Physics Chapter 14 Semiconductor Electronics Session 2024-2025.
(i) The width of depletion layer of a p – n junction decreases when the junction is forward biased. (ii) The width of depletion layer of a p – n junction increases when the junction is reverse biased. Class 12 ...
Conductivity of n-type semiconductor is greater because mobility of electrons is more than that of holes. Class 12 Physics Chapter 14 Semiconductor Electronics Session 2024-2025.
