Which of the following dopant is used in silicon to produce p-type semiconductor?
Options:
Answer:
A
Solution:
Silicon is a Group 14 element. To form a p-type semiconductor, it must be doped with a trivalent impurity, which is an element from Group 13.
Among the given options, Ga (Gallium) belongs to Group 13.
Sb (Antimony), As (Arsenic), and P (Phosphorus) belong to Group 15 and are pentavalent impurities used to produce n-type semiconductors.
Therefore, Ga is used to produce a p-type semiconductor.
Answer: Ga
