    Silicon would be chosen as the semiconductor due to its availability and stability. Silicon dioxide would be used as the insulator surrounding the silicon due to its ability to electrically isolate the semiconductor. Phosphorus would be doped into the silicon to create an excess of free electrons and make it n-type, as phosphorus introduces extra electrons when substituting for silicon in the crystal lattice.

    ELEC1205 – Solid State Devices

    Question 1 [3 marks]
    You need to fabricate a semiconductor with an excess of electrons (n type) surrounded by an
    insulator. You are offered a choice of silicon, germanium or carbon for the semiconductor.
    Which group 4 element, oxide and impurity atom would you choose and why? Explain your
    answer in detail.
