In a p-type semiconductor, the?

A.

number of holes are equal to the number of electrons

B.

electrical resistivity increases

C.

electrons are the majority charge carriers

D.

holes are the majority charge carriers

Correct answer is D

Properties of p type semiconductor

  • This type of semiconductors form due to the doping trivalent atoms in a pure semiconductor crystal.
  • The majority carriers in p-type semiconductors are holes which have positive charges.
  • Minority carriers of this type semiconductors are free electrons.
