Correct option is A
- An N-type semiconductor is formed by doping silicon (a tetravalent element) with a pentavalent impurity such as phosphorus, arsenic, or antimony.
- These pentavalent impurities introduce free electrons as the majority charge carriers because they have an extra valence electron compared to silicon's four valence electrons.
- Aluminum and Boron are trivalent elements, which create P-type semiconductors by introducing holes as the majority charge carriers.
- Germanium is another semiconductor material, not typically used as a dopant for silicon.
