Question

Given density of carriers is 16×1010/cm3 carrier mobilities for electrons and holes at 300 K ale 1500 and 500 cm2/ volt sec electronic charge =1602×1019C Then the resistivity at 300 K is

Moderate
Solution

σ=neμe+μh σ=16×1010×1602×1019[1500+500] =513×106/Ωcm at 300K  Resistivity =1σ=1513×106=01951×106 =1951kΩcm
