Which of the following statements concerning semiconductors is/are CORRECT? 1. The conduction of electricity in p-type semiconductors occurs by the movement of electrons in the conduction band. 2. Doping an intrinsic semiconductor, such as silicon, with a Group 3A element will produce a p-type semiconductor. 3. An n-type semiconductor uses the movement of positive holes in the valence band to conduct electricity.

9. An n- type germanium semiconductor sample is brought into contact with a p - type silicon sample. The germanium sample has a carrier concentra- tion of 4.5 x 1016cm-3 and the silicon sample has a carrier concentration of 1.0 × 1016cm-3. At 300K the intrinsic carrier concentration of germanium is 2.4 × 1013cm-3 and its band gap is 0.66 eV. At 300K the intrinsic carrier concentration of silicon is 1.45 × 1010cm-3 and its band gap is 1.12 eV....

Draw the energy band diagram at equilibrium for the p+ /n/p semiconductor heterostructure (p+ indicates a p-type semiconductor which is heavily doped, i.e., more heavily doped than p). You should indicate Ec (conduction band), Ev (valence band), Ei (intrinsic Fermi level), and Ef (Fermi level) throughout the device structure. show your work (i.e., you should start from the diagram of individual material pieces). State any reason for your drawing.
