Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What type of junction is formed when p-type and n-type semiconductors are joined? (2022)
  • Step 1: Understand what p-type and n-type semiconductors are.
  • Step 2: Recognize that p-type semiconductors have more positive charge carriers (holes).
  • Step 3: Understand that n-type semiconductors have more negative charge carriers (electrons).
  • Step 4: When you join p-type and n-type semiconductors together, they create a boundary.
  • Step 5: This boundary is called a p-n junction.
  • Step 6: The p-n junction is important for many electronic devices.
