Pure Si at 500 K has equal number of electron (ne) and hole (nh) concentrations of 1.5 1016 m3. Doping by indium increases nh to 4.5 1022 m3. The doped semiconductor is of
- Ap-type having electron concentration ne = 5 109 m3
- Bn-type with electron concentration ne = 5 1022 m3
- Cp-type with electron concentration ne = 2.5 1010 m3
- Dn-type with electron concentration ne = 2.5 1023 m3
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
(ni)2
= ne × nh
(1.5 × 1016)2
= ne (4.5 × 1022)
So ne = 5 × 109
Now nh = 4.5 × 1022
nh ne
Hence, semiconductor is p-type
and ne = 5 × 109 m–3
