If a small amount of antimony is added to germanium crystal:
 
1. the antimony becomes an acceptor atom
2. there will be more free electrons than holes in the semiconductor
3. its resistance is increased
4. it becomes a \(p\small{-}\)type semiconductor

Pure Si at \(500~\text{K}\) has an equal number of electron \((n_e)\) and hole\((n_h)\) concentrations of \(1.5\times10^{16}~\text{m}^{-3}\). Doping by indium increases \(n_h\) to \(4.5\times10^{22}~\text{m}^{-3}\).  The doped semiconductor is of:

1. \(p\)-type with electron concentration \(n_e=5\times10^9~\text{m}^{-3}\)
2. \(n\)-type with electron concentration \(n_e=5\times10^{22}~\text{m}^{-3}\)
3. \(p\)-type with electron concentration \(n_e=2.5\times10^{10}~\text{m}^{-3}\) 
4. \(n\)-type with electron concentration \(n_e=2.5\times10^{23}~\text{m}^{-3}\)
