Denoting a region in a semiconductor in which electrical conduction is due chiefly to the movement of electrons.
〔电子〕（半导体）N型的（常与P -TYPE 相对）
Often contrasted with p-type
Example sentencesExamples
For this purpose, an n-type region in which electrons are negatively charged majority carriers is grown on a p-type base in which holes are positively charged majority carriers or vice versa.
Also a transparent n-type device is needed to make a transparent transistor.
Because there's such a high concentration of electrons in the n-type region, the diffusion currents are extremely strong, and electrons flow at an enormous rate.
Tin oxide, which has an excess of electrons available for conduction, is an n-type semiconductor.
If you go back and look at the early days of the semiconductor revolution, you see that there were many ideas for how to build gate sets out of n-type and p-type transistors.
