Denoting a region in a semiconductor in which electrical conduction is due chiefly to the movement of positive holes.
〔电子〕P型导电。比较N-TYPE
Compare with n-type
Example sentencesExamples
This type of conduction is known as p-type conduction.
Instead, it must wait until it passes through the depletion region, and into the p-type region, where it is met with a huge concentration of holes, and can recombine.
Likewise, we could create a p-type layer just as thin.
We could create, for example, a thin n-type region surrounded by a p-type region.
When the researchers instead replaced the next two thiophenes from the ends, the molecule behaved as a p-type semiconductor.
