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 p-type and, to good approximation, what is the majority carrier concentration in the InP?

A p-n junction is created by doping the right side of a piece of silicon with 1014 atoms/cm3 of phosphorus and the left side with 1018 atoms/cm3 of boron. Assume that the dopants are fully ionized, and assume the junction is at x = 0 with x+ pointed to the right. a) Plot by hand (roughly to scale) an energy band diagram of the junction and label EGAP, EC, EV, EF and EFi. Using the effective density of states, calculate...

1. Draw the schematics of forward-biased and negative-biased diodes. Show the polarity of voltage source (positive and negative terminal of the source), the position of Fermi levels and the current direction. Explain why there is a small current flow when a p-n junction is under reverse bias. 2. A p-n junction can be made by diffusing acceptor atoms into an n-type semiconductor. Suppose that boron is diffused into a silicon wafer doped with arsenic at 1015 cm-3 such that the...

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...
