Can we take one slab of p-type semiconductor and physically join it to another n-type semiconductor to get p-n junction?

Question

Can we take one slab of p-type semiconductor and physically join it to another n-type semiconductor to get p-n junction? (A) Yes (B) No (C) It depends on the hole and electron concentrations on p and n-side (D) Only when a p-type semiconductor is soldered with an n-type semiconductor

No, A p - n junction is formed when a p-type semiconductor is formed alongwith an n-type semiconductor on a single intrinsic semiconductor.

Q. Can we take one slab of $p$ -type semiconductor and physically join it to another $n$ -type semiconductor to get $p - n$ junction?

$Y es$

$N o$

It depends on the hole and electron concentrations on $p$ and $n$ -side

Only when a $p$ -type semiconductor is soldered with an $n$ -type semiconductor
