n-type semiconductor

Description:

An n-type semiconductor is a type of material that possesses properties allowing it to conduct electricity. It is characterized by the abundance of free electrons, which are responsible for its conductivity. In an n-type semiconductor, impurities are intentionally introduced to create additional electrons, resulting in a higher concentration of negative charge carriers compared to positive charge carriers.

Sample Sentences:

1. The n-type semiconductor is commonly used in electronic devices such as transistors and diodes.

2. By adding impurities like arsenic or phosphorus, the silicon becomes an n-type semiconductor.

3. The increased conductivity of the n-type semiconductor makes it ideal for applications requiring efficient electron flow.
