Vedclass · Answer

(A) According to the law of mass action for semiconductors,the product of electron density $(n_e)$ and hole density $(n_h)$ is equal to the square of the intrinsic carrier density $(n_i)$:$n_e \cdot n_h = n_i^2$Given:$n_i = 1.5 	imes 10^{16} \, 	ext{m}^{-3}$$n_h = 4.5 	imes 10^{22} \, 	ext{m}^{-3}$Substituting the values into the formula:$n_e = \frac{n_i^2}{n_h} = \frac{(1.5 	imes 10^{16})^2}{4.5 	imes 10^{22}}$$n_e = \frac{2.25 	imes 10^{32}}{4.5 	imes 10^{22}}$$n_e = 0.5 	imes 10^{10} \, 	ext{m}^{-3} = 5 	imes 10^9 \, 	ext{m}^{-3}$Thus,the electron density is $5 	imes 10^9 \, 	ext{m}^{-3}$.

Pure $Si$ at $500\, K$ has equal number of electron $(n_e)$ and hole $(n_h)$ concentrations of $1.5 \times 10^{16} \, m^{-3}$. Doping by indium increases $n_h$ to $4.5 \times 10^{22} \, m^{-3}$. The doped semiconductor is of:

Let ${n_h}$ and ${n_e}$ be the number of holes and conduction electrons respectively in a semiconductor. Then

Which of the following statements is correct for an $n$-type semiconductor?

The density of an electron-hole pair in a pure germanium is $3 \times 10^{16} \ m^{-3}$ at room temperature. On doping with aluminium,the hole density increases to $4.5 \times 10^{22} \ m^{-3}$. Now,the electron density (in $m^{-3}$) in doped germanium is:

Pure silicon at $300 \ K$ has equal electron and hole concentration of $1.5 \times 10^{16} \ m^{-3}$. If the hole concentration increases to $3 \times 10^{22} \ m^{-3}$,then the electron concentration in the silicon is
