With which one of the following elements silicon should be doped so as to give p-type of semiconductor?

  1. A
    Boron
  2. B
    Germanium
  3. C
    Arsenic
  4. D
    Selenium

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Silicon (Group 14) is doped with Group 13 elements (like Boron, Aluminum, Gallium) to create a p-type semiconductor (positive holes as majority carriers). Doping with Group 15 (like Arsenic) gives an n-type semiconductor.
