(a)
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
For the given doping process, the type of semiconductor has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
n-type semiconductor:
In this type of semiconductors, conductivity is increased by doping an element with 5 valence electrons (i.e. doped atom acts as a donor impurity).
p-type semiconductor:
In this type of semiconductors, conductivity is increased by doping an element with 3 valence electrons (i.e. doped atom acts as an acceptor impurity).
