n-type

A semi-conductor which has an excess of conduction electrons, making it more negative. A semi-conductor can be made into N-type by adding trace amounts of another element to the original semiconductor crystal. Virtually all modern transistors and diodes require sections of both N-type and P-type semi-conductors.
