(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For the given doping process, the type of semiconductor has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

n-type semiconductor:

  In this type of semiconductors, conductivity is increased by doping an element with 5 valence electrons (i.e. doped atom acts as a donor impurity).

p-type semiconductor:

  In this type of semiconductors, conductivity is increased by doping an element with 3 valence electrons (i.e. doped atom acts as an acceptor impurity).

(b)
