    Electronic configuration of germanium is 2, 8, 18 and 4. To make it extrinsic semiconductor small quantity of antimony is added

    A)  the material obtained will be n-type germanium in which electrons and holes are equal in number

    B)  the material obtained will be p-type germanium

    C)  the material obtained will be n-type  germanium which has more electrons then holes at room temperature

    D)  the material obtained will be n-type germanium which has less electrons than holes at room temperature

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Antimony is pentavalent. The \[Ge\] crystal with a doping of a pentavalent material will react as an n-type semiconductor in which electrons are the majority charge carries and holes are minority charge carries.
