Question:
In junction diode, the holes are because of
In junction diode, the holes are because of
Updated On: Jun 2, 2024
- missing electrons
- extra electrons
- protons
- neutrons
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
In a semiconductor, when an electron vacates its position, it leaves behind a positive charge known as a hole. Thus, holes are created due to the absence of electrons.
So, the correct option is (A) : missing electrons.
So, the correct option is (A) : missing electrons.

Concepts Used:
Semiconductors
Semiconductors are a crystalline solid materials, whose electrical conductivity lies between a conductor and an insulator. Semiconductors are mainly used in the manufacturing of electronic devices like capacitors, transistors, diodes, Integrated circuits, etc.
Properties of Semiconductor:
- Semiconductor acts like an insulator at Zero Kelvin. On increasing the temperature, it works as a conductor.
- Due to their exceptional electrical properties, semiconductors can be modified by doping to make semiconductor devices suitable for energy conversion, switches, and amplifiers.
- Lesser power losses.
Uses of Semiconductor:
- Semiconductors are widely used in manufacturing electronics devices like transistors, diodes, sensors, integrated circuits.
- Semiconductors are widely used in all electronic devices, like mobile phones, digital cameras, communication devices, trains, ATMs, etc.
