. Assume that the Fermi-level is 0.13 eV below the conduction band edge, EC. Assume Si (Eg = 1.1 eV) and T = 300 K. Calculate the probability that an electron will occupy a state at EC. Calculate the probability that an electron will occupy a state at EV. Also, calculate the probability that a state at EV will be free of electrons. In this particular case, will the sample be n-type or p-type? Assume that kT=0.025eV at 300K.

Indicate the direction in which the electrons in the valence and
conduction band will move in the dispersion relation when an
electric field is applied in the [100] direction. The figure below
shows the dispersion relation of silicon in the [111] and [100]
directions. It also shows the location of the thermally excited
electrons (black dots) and holes (circles) at room
temperature.
