Intrinsic & Extrinsic Semiconductors question from NEET 1999 (AIPMT)

Q62NEET 1999 · AIPMTEasy

Intrinsic & Extrinsic Semiconductors

In $p$ -type semiconductor, the major charge carriers are

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

p-type is doped with trivalent acceptors, each creating a hole.
So holes far outnumber free electrons.
So the answer is (a) holes.
