Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A semiconductor in which the major charge carriers are holes is called a p-type semiconductor. This is achieved by doping the semiconductor with acceptor impurities, which create holes in the valence band, leading to the semiconductor behaving as if it were positively charged.
