Silicon crystal can be converted to p-type semi-conductor by doping with__________________?

Correct answer: D. Boron

  • A. Phosphorous
  • B. Nitrogen
  • C. Carbon
  • D. Boron

Explanation

Boron has three valence electrons, so replacing silicon in its crystal lattice creates holes and produces p-type conduction. Phosphorus has five valence electrons and instead produces n-type silicon.
