If a small amount of aluminium is added to the silicon crystal:

1. its resistance decreases.
2. it becomes a \(\mathrm{p\text-}\)type semiconductor.
3. there will be fewer free electrons than holes in the semiconductor.
4. All of these are correct.

Pure \(\mathrm{Si}\) at \(500~\text K\)  has an equal number of electrons \((n_i)\) and the hole \((n_h)\) concentration of \(1.5\times10^{16}~\text{m}^{-3}.\) Doping by indium increases the hole concentration \(n_h\) to \(4.5\times 10^{22}~\text{m}^{-3}.\) The doped semiconductor is of:
1. \(\mathrm{n}\text-\)type with electron concentration \(n_{e}=5\times10^{22}~\text{m}^{-3}\)
2. \(\mathrm{p}\text-\)type with electron concentration \(n_{e}=2.5\times10^{23}~\text{m}^{-3}\)
3. \(\mathrm{n}\text-\)type with electron concentration \(n_{e}=2.5\times10^{10}~\text{m}^{-3}\)
4. \(\mathrm{p}\text-\)type with electron concentration \(n_{e}=5\times10^{9}~\text{m}^{-3}\)

A \(Ge\) specimen is doped with \(Al\). The concentration of acceptor atoms is \(\sim10^{21}~\text{atoms/m}^3\). Given that the intrinsic concentration of electron hole pairs is \(\sim10^{19}/\text{m}^3\) the concentration of electrons in the specimen is:
1. \(10^{17} / \text{m}^3 \) 2. \(10^{15} / \text{m}^3 \)
3. \(10^4 / \text{m}^3 \) 4. \(10^2 / \text{m}^3\)
