Silicon (4 valence electrons) can be doped with arsenic (5 valence electrons) to make an n-type semiconductor. Assuming 1 in every 15 million silicon atoms is replaced with arsenic, calculate the carrier concentration, n, of the semiconductor. [Density of silicon = 2.33 g/cm3. Molar mass of silicon = 28.1 g mol–1.]
15. A typical dopant concentration in a silicon device is about 1022 m3. (A) What is the ratio of the number of silicon atoms to the number of dopant atoms at this concentration? The density of silicon is 2.33 g/cm3. (B) If a manufacturing process requires that there be less than 1 uncontrolled impurity atom for every 1000 (controlled) dopant atoms, what is the allowable impurity concentration in parts per billion (1 ppb 1 impurity atom per billion silicon atoms)?...

Problem 3: Dopant Freezeout a) Consider a Si sample doped with arsenic (As) to a concentration 1 X 101" cm. Estimate the temperature at which only 50% of the As atoms would be ionized. (You will need to solve a transcendental equation by iteration.) Note that the intrinsic carrier concentration has significant temperature dependence (derived on pg. 55 of Pierret's book): 3/2 19 m, m m, mo o(300...
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. Assume H 1000 cm2/V-s. X-2um

Question 8 Pure silicon at room temperature has an electron number density of about 5 × 1015 m3 and an equal density of holes In the valence band. Suppose that one of every 10° silicon atoms is replaced by a phosphorus atom. (a) Which type will the doped semiconductor be, n or p? (b) What charge carrier number density will the phosphorus add?

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...

If the dopant concentrations of the n layer and the p-type silicon are 6x101" cm and 8x10 cm respectively, calculate the built-in potential of the p-n junction at room temperature (300 K) 15 (3 marks) (b). Due to overheating of the silicon sample, the diode has an operation temperature of 200 °C and...

Assume that the impurities are completely ionized and the mobilities are μ,-1500 cm2/V-s, μ,-500 cm2/V-s, independent of impurity concentrations. Also assume intrinsic carrier concentration of Si n 1.5 x 10 cm). Hint!!; we can usually use the rule for compensated semiconductors as...
