MCQ
The impurity atoms with which pure silicon may be doped to make it a $p-$type semiconductor are those of:
  • A
    Phosphorus.
  • B
    Boron.
  • C
    Aluminium.
  • Both  $B$ and $C$

Answer

Correct option: D.
Both  $B$ and $C$
A $p-$type semiconductor is formed by doping an intrinsic semiconductor with a trivalent atom $($atom having valency $3)$. As phosphorous and boron have three valence electrons, they can be doped with silicon to make a $p-$type semiconductor.
