Briefly explain how intrinsic germanium can be turned into ann-type germanium and a p-type
germanium by doping of selected impurity atoms. Sketch separate 2Ddiagrams to help illustrate
the bonding/structures of extrinsic Ge in the locality of theimpurity atoms.
If an extrinsic germanium crystal has a hole concentration of2.0x108 cm-3 at 300 K. Calculate
the electron concentration, n. Is the extrinsic Ge semiconductor ann-type or p-type
semiconductor? Give your reason. (Given the intrinsic electronconcentration, ni for Ge is 2.0x1013 cm-3
