What concentration of acceptors should be added to an N-type silicon crystal to reduce the effective dop- ing concentration from 1018 cm-3 to 1015 cm-3? How much should the concentration of acceptor atoms change in order for the electron concentration to change by |dno/no| = 0.01? Based on this result, is it practical to reduce the doping concentration by adding doping atoms of the opposite type?
