<th>BASIS OF DIFFERENCE</th> <th>p TYPE SEMICONDUCTOR</th> <th>n TYPE SEMICONDUCTOR</th>
Group of Doping Element In P type semiconductor III group element is added as doping element. In n type semiconductor V group element is added as doping element.
Nature of Doping Element Impurity added creates vacancy of electrons (holes) called as Acceptor Atom. Impurity added provides extra electrons and is known as Donor Atom.
Type of impurity added Trivalent impurity like Al, Ga, In etc. are added. Pentavalent impurity like P, As, Sb, Bi etc. are added.
Majority Carriers Holes are majority carriers Electrons are majority carriers
Minority Carriers Electrons are minority carriers Holes are minority carriers
Density of Electrons and Holes The hole density is much greater than the electron density.
nh >> ne
The electron density is much greater than the hole density.
ne >> nh
Energy level The acceptor energy level is close to the valence band and away from the conduction band. The donor energy level is close to the conduction band and away from the valence band.
