only part d A silicon sample is doped with Nd = 10¹7 cm³ of As atoms.(a) What are the electron and hole concentrations and the Fermi level position(relative to Ec or Ev) at 300 K? (Assume full ionization of impurities.)(b) Check the full ionization assumption using the calculated Fermi level, (i.e., findthe probability of donor states being occupied by electrons and therefore notionized.) Assume that the donor level lies 50 meV below the conduction band,(i.e., Ec-ED 50 meV.)=(c) Repeat (a) and (b) for Nd = 1019 cm³. (Discussion: when the doping concentration ishigh, donor (or acceptor) band is formed and that allows all dopant atoms tocontribute to conduction such that “full ionization” is a good approximation after all).(d) Repeat (a) and (b) for Nd = 10¹7 cm³ but T = 30K. (This situation is called dopantfreeze-out.)
