Question 11 - M4 (16 marks) Consider the semiconductor materials Silicon (Si) and Germanium (Ge). Intrinsic Si has a bandgap of 1.11eV and Intrinsic Ge has a bandgap of 0.67eV. Extrinsic n-doped Ge can be made by adding a small amount of Antimony. 11.1) (5 marks) On a single plot of the 'number of charge carriers' on the y-axis versus 'temperature' on the x-axis, plot the temperature dependence of the number of charge carriers for Intrinsic Si, Intrinsic Ge and...
QUESTION 43 (10 Marks) a) Calculate the conductivity of an intrinsic silicon (SI) semiconductor at 27°C if the hole mobility is 460 cm V's and the electron mobility is 1350 cm? Vis! Assume an intrinsic carrier density of 1.45 x 10 carriers/cm' and an electron charge of -0.16 x 10-4C (3 marks) b) Using Figure 8, calculate the conductivity of the Si intrinsic semiconductor if the temperature is increased to 150°C, assuming the same electron and hole mobilities (2 marks)...
Q5: a) On the axis below draw the plot for an intrinsic silicon and m-aype c Your x- axis should be temperature in Kelvin and y-axis the charge carrier S+2 +2+1-10 Marks Your x-axis should start from 0 K In your plot, clearly label the three different zones of interest along with their charge carrier concentration (m) charge carrier b) Intrinsic semiconductor Germanium (Ge) has a bandgap of 0.67eV as opposed to intrinsic Silicon which has a bandgap of 1.11...
6.2. Germanium is an interesting semiconductor because it has a small band gap (Eg 0.67eV). As a result, it has a higher intrinsic concentration ni than either silicon or GaAs. Do you expect the conductivity of intrinsic germanium to be less than or greater than that of intrinsic silicon? How about compared to GaAs? Explain Why? 6.2. Germanium is an interesting semiconductor because it has a small band gap (Eg 0.67eV). As a result, it has a higher intrinsic concentration...
Taking pure silicon (Si) as an example, explain what is meant by the terms electron-hole generation and recombination, how they affect the electrical conductivity, and define what is meant by the "intrinsic carrier density", n. [5 marks] Q3. a) b) With the aid of both lattice and energy band diagrams, explain how n-type doping of Si is achieved and state two types of suitable dopant atoms. [7 marks] c) An n-type region on a Si wafer has a donor concentration...
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...
