Consider a silicon crystal doped with 10^16 cm-3 Boron. Due to contamination, this crystal also contains deep level traps with an energy level in the middle of the Si bandgap (In other words, Etrap=Ei) and concentration 10^15 cm-3 . These traps can either act like donors or acceptors. At T=300K, determine if the traps are acting as donors or acceptors. Also determine the position of the Fermi level (EF).

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...
