The mobility values of electrons and holes in a silicon sample are 1500 cm2/Vs and 500 cm2/Vs, respectively. Calculate the resistivity of the intrinsic semiconductor. The semiconductor is then doped by phosphorus to concentration of 1×1017 cm-3. Calculate the resistivity of the extrinsic semiconductor. Explain why the conductivity is improved in the latter case. Is this a p-type or n-type semiconductor? The intrinsic carrier concentration in silicon is 1.45×1010 cm-3. (10)
