Pure Si at 500 K has equal number of electron (ne) and hole (nh) concentration of 1.5×1016 m-3. Doping by indium increases nh to 4.5×1022 m-3. The doped semiconductor is of:

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