    n-type semiconductor is formed :

    A)                  when a Ge crystal is doped with an impurity containing 3 valence electrons

    B)  when a Ge crystal is doped with an impurity containing 5 valence electrons

    C)  from pure Ge crystal

    D)  from pure Si crystal

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    An n-type semiconductor is obtained by carrying out a process of doping, that is by adding an impurity of valence five electrons to a valence of four semiconductor (germanium) in order to increase the number of free negative charge carriers, while p-type semiconductor is obtained when germanium crystal is doped with an impurity containing three valence.
