Which of the following can be used as an n-type dopant for silicon?
Select the correct option(s).
Select the correct option(s).
Show Hint
- Arsenic
- Boron
- Gallium
- Phosphorous
The Correct Option is A, D
Solution and Explanation
Arsenic is a Group V element, which has five valence electrons. When it is used as a dopant in silicon, it donates one electron to the conduction band, making it an n-type dopant.
(B) Boron:
Boron is a Group III element, which has three valence electrons. It creates a "hole" in the silicon structure, making it a p-type dopant.
(C) Gallium:
Gallium is also a Group III element, like Boron, and behaves in a similar way by creating holes in the silicon lattice, making it a p-type dopant.
(D) Phosphorous:
Phosphorous is a Group V element, which has five valence electrons. Like Arsenic, it can donate an electron to the conduction band, making it an n-type dopant.
Thus, the correct answers are (A) Arsenic and (D) Phosphorous.

- Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R):
Assertion (A): In an operational amplifier circuit, negative feedback is used to avoid operational amplifier to go into saturation.
Reason (R) : The negative feedback degenerates the output voltage amplitude and in turn reduces the voltage gain.
