Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A silicon crystal is doped with 1 ppm of phosphorus. Calculate the number of free electrons and holes given that the intrinsic carrier concentration of silicon is 1.5 x 10^16 m^-3.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the assumption on intrinsic carriers being much smaller than the dopants.

Question 2

Explain how temperature variations could affect the performance of n-type and p-type semiconductors differently under varying thermal conditions.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Focus on the band gap and how thermal energy agitates the charge carriers.
