MCQ
Holes are created when:
  • A
    Electric discharge causes damage to semicondcutors.
  • B
    There are too many electrons.
  • A co$-$valent bond is broken due to thermal energy, the removal of one electron leaves a vacancy.
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: C.
A co$-$valent bond is broken due to thermal energy, the removal of one electron leaves a vacancy.

Holes are created when a co$-$valent bond is broken due to thermal energy. The removal of one electron leaves a vacancy known as a hole.
