Question

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 m3. If the number of electrons is z×1021m3 then z is

Difficult
Solution

Donor Density (Arsenic) = ND=5×1022m3

Acceptor Density (Indium) = NA=5×1020m3

ni=1.5×1016m3

 

If  the semi conductor is electrically neutral , then NDNA=nenh.......(1)

here NDNA =  5×10225×1020

=5×1020(1021) =5×1020×99 = 495×1020

Also, nenh=ni2...............(2)

Now, we can write ne+nh2=(nenh)2+4nenh.....................(3)

Put (1) and (2) in (3) (ne+nh)=(NDNA)2+4ni2

ne+nh+nenh=NDNA+(NDNA)2+4ni2

2ne=NDNA+(NDNA)2+4ni2

2ne=495×1020+(495×1020)2+4×(1.5×1016)2

2ne=495×1020+(495×495×1040)+4×(2.25×1032)

2ne495×1020+4952×1040

2ne495×1020+495×1020

2ne495×1020×2

ne495×1020=49.5×1021
