Question

Which is TRUE about the valence band of phosphorus in an N-type semiconductor?
Options
A Closer to conduction band than valence band of semiconductor
Correct Answer
B Closer to valence band
C Overlaps with valence band
D Overlaps with conduction band
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

In n-type semiconductors, the donor level (from phosphorus) is close to the conduction band, making it easy for electrons to move to the conduction band.

Hint

Where is the donor level located in an n-type semiconductor?
