N-Type refers to a type of semiconductor material that has been doped with elements that provide extra electrons. This doping process typically involves adding elements from group V of the periodic table, such as phosphorus or arsenic, which have five valence electrons. The additional electrons contribute to electrical conductivity, making N-Type semiconductors essential in various electronic devices. In N-Type semiconductors, the majority charge carriers are negatively charged electrons, while the minority carriers are positively charged holes. This property is crucial for the functioning of devices like transistors and diodes, where N-Type materials are often used in conjunction with P-Type semiconductors to create PN junctions that enable the flow of electrical current.
