Answer #1

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
