A resistor is going to be formed out of silicon. It is doped with As to 5x10^15 cm^-3. The cross sectional area of the device is 10^-5 cm^2 and it length is 5x10^-2 cm.  

a. where is the fermi level located in this device?

b. Using the Fermi energy found in part a find the probability of a state being occupied by and electron at Ec.

c. If a 5 V potential is applied across the length of the device what will be the current in the device (hint: there is a formula for the resistance of the device based on the devices/material resistivity)

d. Now take this same device and counter dope it 2x10^16 cm^-3 of boron. What is the resistance of the device after it is counter doped, and the current through the device?

e. What is the drift velocity of the charge carriers in this device these two different situations.

    The most common component of a circuit is a resistor. A resistor is a device which resists electrical flow in a circuit. If you think of water flowing, a water resistor is a waterwheel; it reduces the flow while getting something useful out of the flow. We’ll make a few predictions before we start. Answer these questions on your whiteboard. Imagine a resistor in a circuit with current flowing around the circuit. The resistor is simply a wire of a...
