Intrinsic & Extrinsic Semiconductors
Match List I with List II:
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
| List I | List II | ||
| A. | Intrinsic semiconductor | I. | Fermi-level near the valence band |
| B. | n-type semiconductor | II. | Fermi-level in the middle of valence and conduction band. |
| C. | p-type semiconductor | III. | Fermi-level near the conduction band |
| D. | Metals | IV. | Fermi-level inside the conduction band |
Show answer and solution
Answer: (d)
- Intrinsic: equal and , so is midway between the bands: A-II.
- n-type: excess electrons push near the conduction band: B-III.
- p-type: excess holes pull near the valence band: C-I. Metals: lies inside the conduction band: D-IV.
- So the answer is (d) A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV.
