23. Earth receives enormous amount of energy from sunlight. The problem of shortage of power can be
solved if we could convert solar energy into electricity.
electricity. A device which generates electrical power from
sunlight is called solar cell or photovoltaic cell. Solar cells are made up of silicon doped with arsenic
and silicon doped with boron.
Answer the following questions:
(i) When silicon is doped with arsenic, ic, what type of semiconductor is obtained? Explain.
(ii) (ii) What type of semiconductor is obtained by doping silicon with boron?
(iii) (iii) Give any two applications (other than solar cells) of semiconductors.
