    Semiconductor material having fewer free electrons than pure germanium or silicon is

    A)  p-type

    B)  n-type

    C)  Both [a] and [b]

    D)  None of the above

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    n-type semiconductor crystal has freely moving (negative) electrons and an equal number of stationary positively charged donor ions. The crystal as a whole is neutral while in p-type semiconductor crystal has freely moving (positive) holes and an equal number of stationary negatively charged acceptor ions. Hence, p-type semiconductor material has fewer free electrons.
