The doping process intentionally adds impurities into the pure semiconductor material to produce two types of semiconductor material: n-type and p-type semiconductors. As an engineer for the research and development (R&D) department in the semiconductor manufacturing industry, you are required to analyze the difference between n-type and p-type semiconductors. Your explanation will be the fundamental knowledge for the new product development in the near future.
