A Czochralski crystal is grown with an initial antimony concentration in the melt of 1 x 1016 cm-3. After 75% of the melt has been used up in pulling the crystal, pure silicon is added to return the melt to its original volume. Growth is then resumed. What will the antimony concentration be in the crystal after 50% of the new melt has been consumed by growth? Assume ko = 0.02 for antimony.
Problem 2. Silicon is used to dope a crystal of InP to a doping concentration of 2.5x10^16/cm3. Assume that all the silicon atoms displace only P atoms in the InP crystal. This is an example of “amphoteric” doping. (a) Explain amphoteric doping, and why it is important I specify which type of atoms in an InP crystal is replaced by the Si atoms that are used for doping. (b) In this situation, state if the doped InP is n-type or...

Q1 (20%): The total electron concentration in a piece of lightly doped, n-type silicon at 500 varies linearly from 1X107 cm3 at x 0 to 6 x 10 cm at x 2 um. Electrons are supplied by an external circuit to keep this concentration constant with time. Calculate the electron current density in the silicon if no electric field is present at x 0.

Case Study (Read Carefully): Assume you have a typical piece of Silicon Wafer, it is doped by N-type carriers (electrons) and it operated at an elevated temperature. Assume, Na = 1e8 cm. We will use Short-hand (assumption) approach to calculate the n, p, and E--E; then use recalculate using first principal equation while making minimal assumptions. We want to know the range in which the Short-hand approach gives the same answer as the first principal approach. Part 1, Short-Hand Approach:...
