p-type semiconductor n-type semiconductor
1. The impurity of some trivalent element like B, Al, In, etc. is mixed with semiconductor. The impurity of some pentavalent element like P, As, Sb, etc. is mixed
2. The impurity atom accepts one electron hence the impurities The impurity atom donates – one electron, hence the impurities added are known as donor impurities.
3. The holes are majority charge carriers and electrons are minority charge carriers. The electrons are j majority charge carriers and holes are minority charge carriers.
4. The acceptor energy level is close to the valence band and far away from conduction band. Donor energy level is close to the conduction band and far away from valence band.
