(a)
Interpretation:The mass of dopant required to generate one metric ton n-type silicon semiconductor have to determine.
Concept introduction:In n-type silicon semiconductor, the dopant must contain 5 valence electrons, so that after bonding with silicon (4 electron system) there remains an extra electron. The dopant frequently used for the commercially available silicon semiconductor is phosphorous (P), as the phosphorous impurity in silicon doesn’t increase the weight of the semiconductor much. The bonding pattern and roaming of extra electron of phosphorous generates n-type (negative charged or electron mediated) semiconductor. However, on the amount of dopant the silicon semiconductor may be subdivided into two category: light and heavy semiconductor.
In light silicon semiconductor 1 impurity atom is present per 1,000,000,000 or ppb (parts per billion) silicon atoms. On the other hand for generation of heavy silicon semiconductor 1 atom of impurity needed per 1,000 atom of silicon.
