<p>A pn junction is formed by the junction of a p-type semiconductor and an n-type semiconductor. It acts as a diode, allowing current to flow in one direction while blocking it in the opposite direction.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Doping is the intentional introduction of impurities into a semiconductor material to alter its electrical properties. By adding impurities, the conductivity and electron behavior of the material can be modified, allowing for the creation of different types of semiconductors with specific characteristics.</p> Signup and view all the answers
