    If a pentavalent impurity is mixed in the  crystal-lattice   of   germanium   then  the  semiconductor formed will be

    A)  p-type semiconductor

    B)  n-type semiconductor

    C)  (i) and (ii) both

    D)  None of the above

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Pentavalent elements have one excess valence electron after forming the four covalent bond normally formed by germanium. The excess electrons give rise to electrical conductance. It is called n-type semi-conductors, the symbol 'n' indicates that the negative charge flows in them.
