•
The two types of extrinsic semiconductors are n‒type and p‒type.
•
In n‒type, the electrons are majority charge carriers while holes are minority
charge carriers.
•
In p‒type, the holes are majority charge carriers and electrons are minority charge
carriers.
•
These two types of materials namely n‒type and p‒type are chemically combined
with a special fabrication technique to form a p‒n junction. Such a
semiconductor p‒n junction forms a popular electronic device called diode.
•
In a p‒n junction on p side there are large number of holes while on n side
there are large number of free electrons. Hence overall p‒n junction acts as
nonuniformly doped material.
