MCQs on Donor and Acceptor impurities
1 - Question
At what temperature the donor states are completely ionized?
a) 0 K
b) ROOM
c) 300K
d) 900K
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: At room temperature, the donors have donated their electrons to the conduction band.
2 - Question
The opposite of ionization takes place at which temperature?
a) 0 K
b) ROOM
c) 300 K
d) 900K
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: AT 0 K, all the donors and acceptors are in their lowest energy levels.
3 - Question
What do you mean by the tem ‘FREEZE-OUT’?
a) All the electrons are frozen at room temperature
b) None of the electrons are thermally elevated to the conduction band
c) All the electrons are in the conduction band
d) All the holes are in the valence band
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Freeze out means none of the electrons are transmitted to the conduction band.
4 - Question
Which of the following expressions represent the correct formula for the density of electrons occupying the donor level?
a) nd=Nd-Nd+
b) nd=Nd-Nd–
c) nd=Nd+Nd+
d) nd=Nd+Nd–
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: The density of the electrons is equal to the electrons present in the substrate minus the number of donors present.
5 - Question
Which of the following band is just above the intrinsic Fermi level for n-type semiconductor?
a) Donor band
b) Valence band
c) Acceptor band
d) Conduction band
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: For n-type semiconductors, the donor band is just above the intrinsic Fermi level.
6 - Question
At absolute zero temperature, which level is above the Fermi energy level in the case of donors?
a) Donor energy level
b) Acceptor energy level
c) Conduction Band
d) Valence Band
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: At T=0 K, the tem exp(-∞)=0 in the expression of
Thus, EF>ED
So, only conduction band lies above the Fermi energy level.
7 - Question
At T=0 K, the location of Fermi level with respect to the Ec and Ed for the n type material is?
a) Above than conduction band
b) Midway
c) Lower than Ed
d) Greater than Ed
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: At T=0 K, the Fermi level of n band lies between the midway of Ec and Ed as intrinsic Fermi level always lies between the Ec and Ev.
8 - Question
At absolute zero temperature, which level is below the Fermi energy level in the case of acceptors?
a) Donor energy level
b) Valence Band
c) Conduction band
d) Acceptor energy level
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: At T=0 K, the tem exp(-∞)=0 in the expression of
So, only valence band lies below the Fermi energy level of the acceptors.
9 - Question
For the above n-type semiconductor, what is B knows as?
a) Valence Band
b) Conduction Band
c) Donor Energy level
d) Acceptor energy level
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: For n-type semiconductors, the donor energy level is always greater than the Fermi level energy.
10 - Question
For the above given figure, identify the correct option for satisfying the above semiconductor figure?
a) P type, A-Conduction band, B-donor energy band, C- Valence band
b) P type, A-Conduction band, B-acceptor energy band, C- Valence band
c) n type, A-Conduction band, B-donor energy band, C- Valence band
d) n type, A-Conduction band, B-acceptor energy band, C- Valence band
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: The given figure has B band below the intrinsic Fermi level, so that would be acceptor energy band and will be a p-type semiconductor.
