The length of a germanium rod is $0.928 \ cm$ and its area of cross-section is $1 \ mm^2$. If for germanium $n_i = 2.5 \times 10^{19} \ m^{-3}$,$\mu_h = 0.15 \ m^2 V^{-1} s^{-1}$,and $\mu_e = 0.35 \ m^2 V^{-1} s^{-1}$,then the resistivity is:
$A$ $Ge$ specimen is doped with $Al$. The concentration of acceptor atoms is $10^{21} \text{ atoms}/m^3$. Given that the intrinsic concentration of electron-hole pairs is $10^{19} /m^3$, the concentration of electrons in the specimen is:
The charge carriers in a $p$-type semiconductor are
The concentration of electrons in an intrinsic semiconductor is $6 \times 10^{15} \,m^{-3}$. On doping with an impurity, the electron concentration increases to $4 \times 10^{22} \,m^{-3}$. In thermal equilibrium, the concentration of the holes in the doped semiconductor is:
The number of silicon atoms per $m^{3}$ is $5 \times 10^{28}$. This is doped simultaneously with $5 \times 10^{22}$ atoms per $m^{3}$ of Arsenic and $5 \times 10^{20}$ atoms per $m^{3}$ of Indium. Calculate the number of electrons and holes. Given that $n_{i} = 1.5 \times 10^{16} \; m^{-3}$. Is the material $n$-type or $p$-type?
