Pure silicon wafer at the room temperature has an electrical conductivity of 5.5x1040'm3. The electron and hole mobilities of charge carriers are 0.35 m2 / V's1 and 0.12 m2 / V's' respectively. Compute electron and hole concentrations at room temperature.
What mass of phosphorus is needed to dope 1.0 g of silicon so that the number density of conduction electrons in the silicon is increased by a multiply factor of 106 from the 10^16 m-3 in pure silicon.
If five electrons out of 1012 electrons in the Valence Band move to the Conduction Band. Calculate the conductivity of an intrinsic silicon. Given the silicon density is (2.33×10³ Kg/m³), the silicon atomic weight is (28.086), the electrons mobility is (0.1605 m²/V.sec.), and the holes mobility is (0.058 m?/V.sec.).
