p-type

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