Which element can be used as a dopant in a p-type semiconductor?

gallium
arsenic
antimony
phosphorus

Respuesta :

Answer:

Gallium

Explanation:

Gallium is one such element used as a do/pant in a p-type semiconductor.

A do/pant is an impurity added to a semi-conductor used to alter its properties. Semi-conductors have a wide range of applications. They will conduct heat and electricity only under certain conditions. This property is highly desirable and find a wide application in electronics.

For p-type conductors, they are best do/ped with elements with 3 valence electrons. These are group 3 elements. From the choices, only gallium belongs to this group.

Other elements given are good do/pants for n-type semiconductors. They have 5 valence electrons.
