    Which one of the following statement is false?                                                         [AIPMT (S) 2010]

    A)  Pure Si doped with trivalent impurities gives a p-type semiconductor

    B)  Majority carriers in a n-type semiconductor are holes

    C)  Minority carriers in a p-type semiconductor are electrons

    D)  The resistance of intrinsic semiconductor decreases with increase of temperature

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    p-type semiconductor are obtained by adding a small amount of trivalent impurity to a pure sample of semiconductor (Ge).
    Majority charge carriers — holes Minority charge carriers — electrons n-type semiconductor are obtained by adding a small amount of pentavalent impurity to a pure sample of semiconductor (Ge).
                Majority charge carriers — electrons. The resistance of intrinsic semiconductors decreases with increase of temperature.
