1. N-type semi-conductors
In this case the semi-conductor is given atoms by an impurity and this impurity is known as donor so it is given donor atoms (donated).

2. P-type semi-conductors
The impurity within the semi-conductor accepts atoms with free electrons (dopants). This forms a ‘hole’ within the semi-conductors.
