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.

Experiment 11: Investigating Bandgap Energies, Materials, and Design of Light-Emitting Diodes (LED) 3. For a device to be a good conductor, there must be a significant electron population in the conduction band. When no energy is supplied to a semiconductor, the relative population of the conduction band follows Boltzmann's population law. In the case of a diode, the equation is: CB Population = e /RT VB Population Where CB and VB population are the respective electron populations in the conduc-...

Calculate how much increase
(in eV) of the conduction band edge would be resulted for the 10th
subband, if you have created a quantum well (i.e., with 1D subband
and 2D dispersion relation) by size quantization in the z-direction
(thickness direction), resulting in a 5 nm-thick channel. In the
parabolic dispersion (E-k) relation we learned in class, mc
(conduction band effective mass) should be used for electron’s
mass. Assume your channel is GaAs (mc for GaAs is 0.07mo, where mo...
