The impurity level in an extrinsic semiconductor is about_______________of pure semiconductor ?

Correct answer: B. 1 atom for 108 atoms

  • A. 10 atoms for 108 atoms
  • B. 1 atom for 108 atoms
  • C. 1 atom for 104 atoms
  • D. 1 atom for 100 atoms

Explanation

Only a very small fraction of atoms is replaced by impurity atoms in an extrinsic semiconductor, commonly about one impurity atom per 10^8 semiconductor atoms. This tiny addition can greatly increase carrier concentration.
