| N-type semiconductor | P-type semiconductor |
|---|---|
| It is type extrinsic semiconductor. | It also type of extrinsic semiconductor. |
| In N-type semiconductor, electrons are majority carriers and holes are minority carriers. | In P-type semiconductor, holes are majority carriers and electrons are minority carriers. |
| It has Larger electron concentration and less hole concentration. | It has Larger hole concentration and less electron concentration. |
| Pentavalent impurities are added. | Trivalent impurities are added. |
| It has donor energy levels very close to conduction band. | It has acceptor energy levels very close to valance band. |
