p-type

adjective

1. (of a semiconductor) having a density of mobile holes in excess of that of conduction electrons
2. associated with or resulting from the movement of holes in a semiconductor Compare n-type

   p-type conductivity

P-type

1. Made of material, usually a semiconductor such as silicon, that has been doped with impurities so that it has an excess of electron holes.
2. Compare N-type

Example Sentences

In a paper published Thursday, May 16, in the journal Science, researchers from the University of Houston and Rice University report a new approach to predict the realization of band convergence in a series of materials and, after demonstrating that one so-designed material, a p-type Zintl compound, would offer highly efficient thermoelectric performance, fabricated a thermoelectric module.

From Science Daily

Research progress on p-type amorphous semiconductors has been notably sluggish.

From Science Daily

Achieving high-performance amorphous p-type oxide semiconductor devices has long been regarded as a near-impossible challenge, with academia facing two decades of unsuccessful attempts.

From Science Daily

This phenomenon arises from the creation of an acceptor level capable of accommodating electrons in the absence of sufficient oxygen, thereby enabling the material to function as a p-type semiconductor.

From Science Daily

This led to increased solubility of the intermediates and facilitated the synthesis of two-dimensional polymers with higher degree of polymerization and fewer defects, resulting in outstanding electrical conductivity after p-type doping.
