In an N-type semiconductor at T = 300 K, the electron concentration varies linearly from 2 x 10^18 to 5 X 10^17 per cc over a distance of 1.5 mm and the diffusion current density is 360 A/cm^2. Find the mobility of electrons.
Assume that the conductivity of a pure
semiconductor at an applied electric field of 450
mV/m is 2.75 X 1013/ S2-cm.
Given that the drift velocity of electrons is 0.135 m/s
and that of holes is 0.048 m/s, determine the density
of the charge carriers per cubic meter in this material.
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.
