2 In elemental semiconductors (Si or Ge), the n-type or p-type semiconductors are obtained by introducing ‘dopants’ as defects In compound semiconductors, the change in relative stoichiometric ratio can also change the type of semiconductor For example, in ideal GaAs the ratio of Ga:As is 1:1 but in Ga-rich or As-rich GaAs it could respectively be Ga1
