Difference between N-type semiconductor and P-type semiconductor

N-type semiconductor	P-type semiconductor
An n-type semiconductor is anintrinsic semiconductor doped by phosphorus (P), arsenic (As), or antimony (Sb) as an impurity.	A p-type semiconductor is an extrinsic type of semiconductor. When a trivalent impurity (like Boron, Aluminum etc,) is added to an intrinsic or pure semiconductor (silicon or germanium), it is said to be a p-type semiconductor.
The majority of charge carriers are free electrons while the holes are in minority in an N-type semiconductor	The majority of charge carriers are holes while the free electrons are in minority in a P-type semiconductor.
To increase the number of electron impurities is added inn-type semiconductors These are well-known as Donar atoms.	To increase the number of holes impurities are added in a p-type semiconductors. These are well-known as Acceptor atoms.
The electrons density is higher than the density of the holes. (ne >> nh) as compared to the p-type semiconductor	The hole’s density is higher than the electrons density (nh >> ne) as compared to n-type semiconductor
The donor level generally lies nearer to the conduction band.	The accepts level generally lies nearer to the valence band.
The concentration of majority charge carriers is more as compared to the p-type semiconductor	The concentration of majority charge carriers is more) as compared to the n-type semiconductor
