In p - type semiconductors, the majority carriers are Correct Answer Holes

P-type semiconductors:

P-type semiconductor is formed when a tetravalent impurity(Si, Ge) is doped with a trivalent impurity(B, Ga)

  • Holes are the majority charge carriers  and electrons are minority charge carriers in P-type semiconductors
  • An n-type Semiconductor is formed when a tetravalent impurity(Si, Ge) is doped with a Pentavalent impurity(P,Sb)
  • Electrons are the majority charge carriers in the n-type semiconductor and holes are minority charge carriers. 

 

N-type semiconductors:
