In an n-type silicon, which of the following statement is true:

In an n-type silicon holes are minority carriers and pentavalent


atoms are the dopants as it is formed by doping of a pentavalent atom in a tetravalent crystal.


Pentavalent atoms have an excess electron than a tetravalent atom, hence a number of holes are less than the number of electrons. So, holes are the minority carriers.
