The number of silicon atoms per m3 is 5×1028. This is doped simultaneously with 5×1022 atoms per m3 of arsenic and 5×1020 atoms per m3 of Indium .Given that ni= 1.5 × 1016 m−3. If the number of electrons is z×1021m−3 then z is
Donor Density (Arsenic) = ND=5×1022m−3
Acceptor Density (Indium) = NA=5×1020m−3
ni=1.5×1016m−3
If the semi conductor is electrically neutral , then ND−NA=ne−nh.......(1)
here ND−NA = 5×1022−5×1020
=5×1020(102−1) =5×1020×99 = 495×1020
Also, nenh=ni2...............(2)
Now, we can write ne+nh2=(ne−nh)2+4nenh.....................(3)
Put (1) and (2) in (3) ⇒(ne+nh)=(ND−NA)2+4ni2
⇒ne+nh+ne−nh=ND−NA+(ND−NA)2+4ni2
⇒2ne=ND−NA+(ND−NA)2+4ni2
⇒2ne=495×1020+(495×1020)2+4×(1.5×1016)2
⇒2ne=495×1020+(495×495×1040)+4×(2.25×1032)
⇒2ne≈495×1020+4952×1040
⇒2ne≈495×1020+495×1020
⇒2ne≈495×1020×2
⇒ne≈495×1020=49.5×1021
