Question

A Ge specimen is doped with Al.  The concentration of acceptor atom is 1020 atoms/m3. Given that the intrinsic concentration of electron hole pairs is 1017/m3, the concentration of electrons in the specimen is

Moderate
Solution

For extrinsic semiconductor ,  

ni2=nenh

10172=ne1020ne = 1014 /m3
