When a piece of pure silicon is doped with aluminium, then

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option C
p type of semiconductor is obtained when Silicon is doped with a trivalent impurity like Aluminium. Aluminium is a p-type dopant, which means that when a semiconductor i.e. silicon is doped with aluminium, it creates a hole (positively charged carrier) by accepting an electron from the silicon atom. Electrical conductivity of semiconductors increases and resistivity remains the same.
