When Ge is dopped with Al we get p type semi conductors
Reason :- Aluminium is a group 3 element that means it has 3 valance electrons in its outer shell. If aluminium replaces a group 6 germanium atom in a crystal there will be 1 less electron, this is called as a hole and behaves like a positive charge carrier

Problem 3: Semiconductor doping a) Explain why boron (B) is preferred over indium (In) as the dopant species to achieve highly conductive p-type silicon. b) At very high temperatures (e.g. >1000°C), the conductivity of silicon is not significantly affected by moderate doping (Na or No less than 101/cm), i.e. it is an intrinsic semiconductor. Explain why this is the case.
For a Si p-n junction with p-type doping of 1 x 10^16/cm3 and n-type doping of 1 x 10^19/cm3, calculate the built-in potential Vb at 300K, dark, thermal equilibrium condition. Please show the equations and parameters used in the calculation and the value of Ec-Ef, Ef-Ev, and Vb. Please draw a band structure similar to the one in lecture 5 slide 6 based on your results, please also label Ec, Ev, Vb, and Ef in the drawing.
