An n-type semiconductor has impurity level 20meV below the conduction band. In a thermal collision, transferable energy is KT. The value of T for which electrons start to jump in conduction band is :

a
232 K
b
348 K
c
400 K
d
600 K

detailed solution

Correct option is A

KT=20×10−3eV∴T=20×10−3keV=20×10−3eV8.62×10−5eV/K=232K
