N-type Semiconductor (Noun)

Meaning

A semiconductor in which electrical conduction is due chiefly to the movement of electrons.

Classification

Nouns denoting man-made objects.

Examples

  • The n-type semiconductor is created by introducing a small amount of phosphorus into the crystal structure of silicon, displacing some of the silicon atoms and creating free electrons.
  • In an n-type semiconductor, the movement of electrons is the primary mechanism for electrical conduction, making it suitable for use in electronic devices.
  • The process of doping silicon with phosphorus or arsenic results in the creation of an n-type semiconductor, which has a negative charge carrier density.
  • The combination of n-type and p-type semiconductors is used to create a p-n junction, a fundamental component of many electronic devices.
  • The n-type semiconductor material is commonly used in the production of solar cells, where it plays a crucial role in converting sunlight into electrical energy.
