    Indium impurity in germanium makes it into a:

    A)  \[n\]-type of semiconductor

    B) p-type semiconductor

    C)  insulator

    D)  intrinsic semiconductor

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     If an impurity atom with 3 valence electron is used in germanium crystal is it replaces one of the germanium atom. As one of atom is not replaced by indium atom. Hence, the atom form a hole and indium impurity in germanium makes it into a p-type semiconductor.
