The electrical properties of silicon can be changed or manipulated by adding up the other elements called “dopants” which determine the type of silicon wafer. Either negative or positive, and these dopants also modify the resistivity of silicon to make it more conductive.
Therefore, we can say that the type of “dopant” added determines the final wafer. Whether it’s an N-Type or a P-Type silicon wafer. And the amount of dopant determines wafer’s final resistivity.
P-Type silicon wafers are very common in terms of production and sales volume. These types of wafers are formed with only one type of dopant called boron. Amount of boron in the silicon wafer determines its resistivity; the less boron the more will be the resistivity while the more boron the lower resistivity.
