- antimony.
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
In p type germanium semiconductor, it must be doped with a trivalent impurity atom. Since indium is a third group member, therefore germanium must be doped in indium.

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.
