Consider an $n$-type semiconductor in which $n_e$ and $n_h$ are the number of electrons and holes,respectively.
$(A)$ Holes are minority carriers.
$(B)$ The dopant is a pentavalent atom.
$(C)$ $n_e n_h \neq n_i^2$ (where $n_i$ is the number of electrons or holes in the semiconductor when it is in its intrinsic form).
$(D)$ $n_e n_h \geq n_i^2$.
$(E)$ The holes are not generated due to the donors.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below.

View SolutionWhich one of the following statements is false?
In pure silicon,the electron-hole concentration at $T = 300 \ K$ is $7 \times 10^{15} \ m^{-3}$. Antimony is added as an impurity to silicon at a rate of $1$ atom per $10^7 \ Si$ atoms. Assume that half of the impurity atoms contribute their electrons to the conduction band. Calculate the factor by which the number of charge carriers increases. Given: the number density of silicon atoms is $5 \times 10^{28} \ m^{-3}$.

View SolutionMobility of electrons in a semiconductor is defined as the ratio of their drift velocity to the applied electric field. If,for an $n$-type semiconductor,the density of electrons is $10^{19} \ m^{-3}$ and their mobility is $1.6 \ m^2/(V \cdot s)$,then the resistivity of the semiconductor (since it is an $n$-type semiconductor,the contribution of holes is ignored) is close to ................ $\Omega \cdot m$.
