Question

Deep into the p side the current is a drift current  Ipp of holes sustained by the small electric field in the semiconductor. Is the statement true or false?

(a) True

(b) False

I had been asked this question in an internship interview.

The origin of the question is The Current Components in a P-N junction diode in section Semiconductor-Diode Characteristics of Electronic Devices & Circuits

Answer 1

Right answer is (a) True

Best explanation: In the p region, the drift current is sustained into the p region by the small electric field which is formed at the junction in the semiconductor. So, the above statement is true.
