  • Question
  • When a piece of pure silicon is doped with aluminium, then


  • Options
  • A. the conductivity of the doped silicon piece will remain the same
  • B. the doped silicon piece will become n-type
  • C. the doped silicon piece will become p-type
  • D. the resistivity of the doped silicon piece will increase

  • Correct Answer
  • the doped silicon piece will become p-type 

    Explanation

    p type of semiconductor is obtained when Silicon is doped with a trivalent impurity like Aluminium. Aluminium is a p-type dopant, which means that when a semiconductor i.e. silicon is doped with aluminium, it creates a hole (positively charged carrier) by accepting an electron from the silicon atom. Electrical conductivity of semiconductors increasesand resistivity remains the same
