Compound Semiconductors: They are formed by using two

or more elements.they are synthesized using elements from groups II through VI

of the periodic table, e.g. from group III and V (III-V compounds) or
(II-VI compounds).
EXAMPLE: III-V semiconductors:GaAs, GaP, GaN, GaAlAs, InP,
InSb, etc. II-VI semiconductors:CdSe, CdTe, CdHgTe, ZnS.

Difference between N type and P type semiconductors

N-type semiconductors:1. When pentavalent impurity atoms like As, Sb etc. are added in the intrinsic semiconductor, we
get n-type semiconductor.
2. The majority carriers in n-type semiconductor are electrons and minority carries are holes.
P-type semiconductors:1. When trivalent impurity atoms like gallium, indium etc. are added in the intrinsic semiconductor,
we get p-type semiconductor.
2. The majority carriers in p-type semiconductor are holes and minority carriers are electrons.
