Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary charge carrier in P-type semiconductors?
  • Step 1: Understand what a semiconductor is. A semiconductor is a material that can conduct electricity under certain conditions.
  • Step 2: Learn about P-type semiconductors. P-type semiconductors are created by adding certain materials (dopants) to pure semiconductor material, which creates 'holes'.
  • Step 3: Know what holes are. Holes are the absence of electrons in a semiconductor, and they act like positive charge carriers.
  • Step 4: Identify the primary charge carriers. In P-type semiconductors, the holes are the main charge carriers that allow electricity to flow.
