Indium impurity is added to a sample of $Si$ to prepare a $p$-type semiconductor. In this semiconductor,one atom of indium is added per $5 \times 10^7$ atoms of $Si$. The atomic density of the $Si$ sample is $5 \times 10^{28} \text{ atoms/m}^3$. How many acceptor atoms will be present in a $1 \text{ cm}^3$ cube of silicon?

Suppose an $n$-type wafer is created by doping $Si$ crystal having $5 \times 10^{28} \text{ atoms/m}^3$ with $1 \text{ ppm}$ concentration of $As$. On the surface,$200 \text{ ppm}$ Boron is added to create a $p$-region in this wafer. Considering $n_i = 1.5 \times 10^{16} \text{ m}^{-3}$,$(i)$ Calculate the densities of the charge carriers in the $n$ and $p$ regions. $(ii)$ Comment on which charge carriers would contribute largely to the reverse saturation current when the diode is reverse biased.

If $n_{e}$ and $n_{h}$ are the number of electrons and number of holes respectively in a semiconductor heavily doped with phosphorus,then:

For pure $Ge$,the intrinsic carrier density is $10^{19} \ m^{-3}$. If donor impurity is added with a density of $10^{23} \ m^{-3}$,what will be the hole density (in $m^{-3}$)?
