Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If very pure silicon is doped with a small amount of boron, it will create a p-type semiconductor. In a p-type semiconductor, boron atoms have replaced some silicon atoms in the crystal lattice, resulting in a shortage of electrons. This creates a "hole" where an electron is missing. These holes are considered to be the majority charge carriers in p-type semiconductors.
