(a)
Interpretation:
Germanium doped with arsenic has to be identified for p-type or n-type semiconductor.
Concept introduction:
Conductivity of an electrolyte solution is a measurement of the amount of its ability to conduct electricity.
The SI unit of conductivity is siemens per meter (S/m).
P-type semiconductor:
When the trivalent impurity is added to an intrinsic or pure semiconductor (silicon or germanium) is called as p-type semiconductor. Boron (B), Gallium (G), Indium (In), Aluminium (Al) etc. are trivalent impurities and which are called acceptor impurity.
N-type semiconductor:
When pentavalent impurity is added to an intrinsic or pure semiconductor (silicon or germanium) is called as n-type semiconductor. Phosphorus, arsenic, antimony etc are pentavalent impurities which are called donor impurity.
(b)
Interpretation:
Silicon doped with phosphorus has to be identified for p-type or n-type semiconductor.

- 8.96 A business manager wants to provide a wider range of p- and n-type semiconductors as a strategy to enhance sales. You are the lead materials engineer assigned to communicate with this manager. How would you explain why there are more ways to build a p-type semiconductor from silicon than there are ways to build an n-type semiconductor from silicon?arrow_forwardThe lead(IV) oxide used in car batteries is prepared by coat-ing the electrode plate with PbO and then oxidizing it to leaddioxide (PbO₂). Despite its name, PbO₂ has a nonstoichiometricratio of lead to oxygen of about 1/1.98. In fact, the holes in the PbO₂ crystal structure due to missing O atoms are responsiblefor the oxide’s conductivity. (a) What is the mole % of O miss-ing from the PbO₂ structure?
