Team JKExamLibrary · Accepted Answer

When a p-type and an n-type semiconductor are joined, electrons from the n-side (majority carriers) diffuse across the junction to the p-side, and holes from the p-side diffuse to the n-side due to concentration gradients. They recombine near the junction, leaving behind immobile ionized atoms (positive donor ions on n-side, negative acceptor ions on p-side). This uncovered charge region is the depletion layer.
