is an element used in semiconductors whose atoms have three valence electrons?
Correct answer: A. An acceptor
- A. An acceptor
- B. A donor
- C. Germanium
- D. Silicon
Explanation
A trivalent impurity has three valence electrons and creates a hole when added to a semiconductor, so it is called an acceptor. A donor has five valence electrons and supplies extra electrons.
