Whether the doping is n-type or p-type depends simply on the direction of the gradient.
—IEEE Spectrum, 30 Jan. 2024
So the n-type develops a positive voltage potential toward the hot side, while the p-type develops a negative voltage potential in the same direction.

The interface between the p-type layer and the n-type slab created a junction just like the one found in a diode: Essentially, the junction is a barrier that allows current to flow easily in only one direction, toward lower voltage.
—IEEE Spectrum, 20 Nov. 2022
This means constructing both n-type and p-type sources and drains by epitaxy—crystal deposition—and adding different metal gates for the two transistors.
