The electron concentration and hole concentration in intrinsic silicon are equal. Explain why the fermi level is not 'exactly' at the middle of the bandgap.
Consider an intrinsic silicon bar 1 mm by 1 mm in cross section and 2 cm long. It is found that if an electric field of 15 V/cm is applied on this bar, the current density is 0.5 μA/mm2. Find the intrinsic carrier concentration
Explain why the intrinsic carrier concentration is temperature dependent with reference to band theory.
Using the equation below and the given information calculate the
intrinsic carrier charge density. T = 300K, Egap = 1eV and

Consider silicon at a temperature of 300 K], and a donor concentration Np = 4-1015 [cm31. The thermal equilibrium recombination rate is RD01-101l [cm3 s1. A uniform generation rate by illumination produces an excess-carrier concentration of on Sp 1-1014 [cm31. Note that at a temperature of 300 [K], the commonly accepted value for the intrinsic carrier concentration of silicon is ni = 1.5 - 1010 [cm31 A) By what factor does the total recombination rate R2 increase under illumination with...
