A p-n junction is formed when p-type and n-type semiconductors are joined together.

Adding trivalent impurities (like boron) to a semiconductor creates a p-type semiconductor.

A diode is used to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) by allowing current to flow in one direction.

A Light Emitting Diode (LED) is based on the principle of a p-n junction, emitting light when current flows through it.

A diode allows current to flow in one direction only, making it a unidirectional device.

Semiconductors have zero conductivity at absolute zero and their conductivity increases with temperature.

A Zener diode is designed to operate in reverse bias and maintain a constant voltage.

P-type semiconductors have an excess of holes as majority charge carriers.

Photodiodes are commonly used for light detection in various applications.

Transistors are a common application of semiconductors, used in various electronic devices.

Boron is a trivalent element that creates holes in silicon, making it a p-type semiconductor.

Intrinsic semiconductors are in their pure form without any doping.

Doping is the process used to create a p-n junction by adding impurities to a semiconductor.

Silicon is a common intrinsic semiconductor used in electronic devices.

P-type semiconductors have a higher concentration of holes compared to N-type semiconductors.

Doping silicon with phosphorus creates an n-type semiconductor due to the addition of extra electrons.
