Suppose a pure $Si$ crystal has $5 \times 10^{28}$ atoms $m^{-3}$. It is doped by $1$ ppm concentration of pentavalent $As$. Calculate the number of holes. Given that $n_i = 1.5 \times 10^{16} m^{-3}$.

  • A
    $5.4 \times 10^{-9} m^{-3}$
  • B
    $5.4 \times 10^{9} m^{-3}$
  • C
    $4.5 \times 10^{-9} m^{-3}$
  • D
    $4.5 \times 10^{9} m^{-3}$
