Crystal types are sometimes classified based on the type of bonding, for example ionic crystals. Name two other types of crystal. (b) A crystal is formed from N atoms. Give a brief description of the origin of energy bands in solids. (c) Sketch the band structure of an undoped semiconductor, label the conduction and valence bands, and the relevant energies. Mark the position of the Fermi energy. Make a second sketch and assume the semiconductor has been doped n -...

9. An n- type germanium semiconductor sample is brought into contact with a p - type silicon sample. The germanium sample has a carrier concentra- tion of 4.5 x 1016cm-3 and the silicon sample has a carrier concentration of 1.0 × 1016cm-3. At 300K the intrinsic carrier concentration of germanium is 2.4 × 1013cm-3 and its band gap is 0.66 eV. At 300K the intrinsic carrier concentration of silicon is 1.45 × 1010cm-3 and its band gap is 1.12 eV....
A piece of p-type GaAs is doped with a net impurity concentration of N Na-5 × 1018 m-3. Is it degenerate or nondegenerate? Find its electron and hole concentrations and its Fermi level at 300 K. How much is the shift of the Fermi level, measured from the intrinsic Fermi level, caused by the doping of the impurity? Compare the results obtained in this problem for the p-type GaAs with those found in Example 12.3 for the n-type GaAs of...

Ga and N share electrons so that each has 8 electrons, producing a completely full valence band What element could be a n-type dopant in GaN? You must also state which site (e.g. replacing Ga or N) the...
Taking pure silicon (Si) as an example, explain what is meant by the terms electron-hole generation and recombination, how they affect the electrical conductivity, and define what is meant by the "intrinsic carrier density", n. [5 marks] Q3. a) b) With the aid of both lattice and energy band diagrams, explain how n-type doping of Si is achieved and state two types of suitable dopant atoms. [7 marks] c) An n-type region on a Si wafer has a donor concentration...
EENG 245 Physical electronics HW 1 1) The NaCl crystal is cubic, and can be described as follows. Na atoms sit at the corners and faces of a cube, and Cl atoms sit in between two Na atoms. This means that a Clatom is found half-way along each of the cube edges, and there is a Cl in the center of the cube. (We could also have described the lattice by interchanging Na and Cl in the description above.) Another...
