  • A
    The donor energy levels $E_D$ are located very close to the valence band energy level $E_V$.
  • B
    The donor energy levels $E_D$ are located very close to the conduction band energy level $E_C$.
  • C
    The donor energy levels $E_D$ are located exactly in the middle of the $E_C$ and $E_V$ energy levels.
  • D
    The donor energy levels $E_D$ are located close to both $E_C$ and $E_V$ energy levels.

How is electric conduction produced in an intrinsic semiconductor?

Consider an $n$-type semiconductor in which $n_e$ and $n_h$ are the number of electrons and holes,respectively.
$(A)$ Holes are minority carriers.
$(B)$ The dopant is a pentavalent atom.
$(C)$ $n_e n_h \neq n_i^2$ (where $n_i$ is the number of electrons or holes in the semiconductor when it is in its intrinsic form).
$(D)$ $n_e n_h \geq n_i^2$.
$(E)$ The holes are not generated due to the donors.
