INTRODUCTION:

N doping:
We use an electron donor an atom which has 5
electrons on its valence band. Four electrons will
participate to the crystal structure the fifth will
stay free capable of moving in the crystal as a
negative charge.
P doping:
We use an electron acceptor element which has
3 electrons on its valence band. These will
participate in the crystal structure but is fails one
electron which creates a fixed hole like a positive
charge.
Examples of P-doping elements: boron (B),
aluminium (Al), gallium , indium.
Working principle:
The LED is a diode that restricts the direction of
movement of charge carries. The current can
flow from the P-type side (the anode) to the Ntype side (the cathode), but not in the opposite
direction.
