Germanium is a group 4A semiconductor. The addition of a dopant atom (group 3A element) that has fewer valence electrons than the host atom results in a p-type semiconductor. The addition of a dopant atom (group 5A elements) that has more valence electrons than the host atom results in an n-type semiconductor. Which of the following elements when used for doping germanium will yield p-type semiconductors, and which elements when used for doping germanium will yield n-type semiconductors?

Expert Solution

Al , Ga and In are P- type dopants for Ge

P,As and Sb are N- type dopants for Ge.

A. Germanium is a semiconductor. If small amounts of the elements In, P, Sb, or Ga are placed into the Ge as impurities (not at the same time but in four separate instances) what types of semiconductors are manufactured in the four cases? B. Normally, in conducting materials, we think of current as being carried by electrons as they move through a solid. In semiconductors, it is also common to talk about the current being carried by the “holes” in...
