im hopin that sum1 might b able 2 confirm my understanding on p-type and n-type semiconductors...
p-type is where a group 4 atom is doped with a group 3 atom thus there is one less valence electron in the valence band which results in the movement of an electron to occupy the 'hole' this movement of electrons is equivalent to the flow of current in a semi-conductor
n-type is where a group 4 atom is doped with a group 5 atom thus the extra electron moves to the conduction band
thnx
