Which of the following options is TRUE for semiconductor materials? Lütfen birini seçin: Ο Α. None O B. Intrinsic semiconductor materials are temperature-dependent in terms of their conducting properties. O C. Due to their linear nature, they obey Ohm's law; hence they cannot be modelled the way we model resistors. O D. Semiconductors have smaller band gap between the conduction and valance bands when compared to that of conductors. O E. The way we distinguish semiconductors from insulators is that, in semiconductors, the energy gap between the valance and conduction bands is comperatively slightly wider that that of insulators.

For silicon at T = 500 Kwith donor density N_D = 5 *10^{13} cm^{-3} and acceptor density N_A = 0, calculate the equilibrium electron concentration in cm^{-3} In this problem, you can assume the bandgap energy and effective masses are independent of temperature and use the room temperature values for them. Values within 5% error will be considered correct.
