A piece of semiconductor doped with impurities that make it amenable to donating electrons.
1: describes a semiconductor material that has negatively charged conductivity (a surplus of electrons); material with free-carriers of electricity dominated by negatively charged ions. Also see conductivity type. 2: a variety of semiconductive material in which the majority current carriers are electrons, formed when donor impurities are incorporated into the crystal structure in small concentrations.
A material in which electric charge which is carried by surplus electrons.
Material that has free-electronics created with the proper dopant.
Electron-rich (N represents Negative )
The conductivity type of a semiconductor material when the majority of carriers are electrons, hence negative. N-type silicon is doped with dopant atoms from column V of the periodic table, such as phosphorus.
a semiconductor with more free electrons than free holes.
Semiconductor material that has been doped with donor impurity atoms that produce free electrons in the material. Conduction mode is by free electrons. Also such material when donor atoms predominate over acceptor atoms.
