Pure Si at 500 K has equal number of electron (ne) and hole (nh) concentrations of 1.5 x 1016 m-3. Doping by Indium increases nh to 4.5 x 1022 m-3.

The doped semiconductor is of:

Option: 1

n-type with electron concentration ne = 2.5 x 1023 m-3


Option: 2

p-type having electron concentration ne = 5 x 109 m-3


Option: 3

n-type with electron concentration ne = 2.5 x 1022 m-3


Option: 4

p-type with electron concentration ne = 2.5 x 1010 m-3
