The conductivity of intrinsic semiconductors, such as silicon and germanium, can be increased
when small amounts of group 3A or group 5A elements are added, a process called doping. The
resulting semiconductors are called either p-type or n-type semiconductors. Classify the type of
doping condition and diagrams depicting the electron population of molecular orbital energy-
level bands as p-type or n-type semiconductors. p-type semiconductors n-type semiconductors
Solution
Band diagram Ge doped with Al represents p - type semiconductor. As Al has only 3 electrons in
its valence shell so it provides holes as majority carrier in intrinsic Ge.
Band diagram Ge doped with Sb represents an n - type semiconductor. As Sb has five e\'s in its
valence shell so it provides e\'s as majority carrier in intrinsic Ge.
