(a) Assuming that the Fermi level is at the midgap in the
intrinsic silicon,
calculate the probability of finding an electron at the bottom of
the conduction
band (E=Ec) for three different temperatures: 0K, 20C, 100C?
(b) How are these probabilities related to the probabilities of
finding a hole
at E=Ev, which is the top of the valence band?
(c) A sample of silicon is doped with 1016 cm-3 of arsenic and
3x1016 cm-3 of
boron. Calculate n, p, and Ef for room temperature and 1000 C.
