Intrinsic & Extrinsic Semiconductors question from JEE Main 2023 (1 Feb, Shift 1)

Q31JEE Main 2023 · 1 FEB · SHIFT 1Medium

Intrinsic & Extrinsic Semiconductors

Match List I with List II:

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

List IList II
A.Intrinsic semiconductorI.Fermi-level near the valence band
B.n-type semiconductorII.Fermi-level in the middle of valence and conduction band.
C.p-type semiconductorIII.Fermi-level near the conduction band
D.MetalsIV.Fermi-level inside the conduction band
Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Intrinsic: equal nen_e and nhn_h, so EFE_F is midway between the bands: A-II.
  2. n-type: excess electrons push EFE_F near the conduction band: B-III.
  3. p-type: excess holes pull EFE_F near the valence band: C-I. Metals: EFE_F lies inside the conduction band: D-IV.
  4. So the answer is (d) A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV.
