Given below are two statements: Statement (I) : Adding of chemical impurity to a pure semiconductor is called doping. Statement (II) : A semiconductor in an extremely pure form is known as extrinsic semiconductor. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below: |
Both Statement I and Statement II are true Both Statement I and Statement II are false Statement I is true but Statement II is false Statement I is false but Statement II is true |
Both Statement I and Statement II are false |
Statement I is not entirely accurate, as doping involves adding a small amount of impurity to a semiconductor to alter its electrical properties, not just adding any chemical impurity. Statement II is also incorrect, as a semiconductor can be doped with impurities to create extrinsic semiconductors. A semiconductor in its pure form is known as an intrinsic semiconductor. Thus, Both Statement I and Statement II are false is correct. |
