Adjective
p-type (not comparable)
(physics) (Of a semiconductor) in which conduction is due to the movement of positive holes rather than electrons.
At the junction of a p-type and an n-type semiconductor there forms a depletion region where current conduction is inhibited by the lack of mobile charge carriers. Source: Internet
Boron nitride can be doped p-type with beryllium and n-type with boron, sulfur, silicon or if co-doped with carbon and nitrogen. Source: Internet
A hole can be created for a p-type dopant, and an electron for an n-type dopant. Source: Internet
Electrical polarity main As with all diodes, current flows easily from p-type to n-type material. citation However, no current flows and no light is emitted if a small voltage is applied in the reverse direction. Source: Internet
Graphitic substitution of carbon atoms in the nanotube wall by boron or nitrogen dopants leads to p-type and n-type behavior, respectively, as would be expected in silicon. Source: Internet
In the case of organic FETs (OFETs), p-type OFET compounds are generally more stable than n-type due to the susceptibility of the latter to oxidative damage. Source: Internet
