The types of carriers in a semiconductor are Correct Answer 2

  • Every semiconducting material consist of two opposite type of charge carriers, electrons and holes
  • The concentration of these may vary depending on the type of semiconductor
  • In N-type semiconductor, electrons are in majority and holes are in the minority
  • In P-type semiconductor, holes are in majority and electrons are in the minority
  • But Both p-type and n-type semiconductors contain both electrons and holes
