Selenium is a semiconductor used in photocopying machines. What type of semiconductor would be formed if a small amount of indium impurity were added to pure selenium?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The p-type semiconductor will be formed if a small amount of indium impurity is added to pure selenium

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

Selenium is a semiconductor used in photocopying machines

02

p-type semiconductor

If a pure semiconductor is doped with trivalent atoms, then a p-type semiconductor is formed.

03

Doping of selenium with indium

Indium belongs to the IIIA group. It is a trivalent atom. Selenium is a semiconductor, and it is an IVA group element.

A p-type semiconductor is formed due to the formation of holes when pure selenium is doped with indium.
