Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A silicon piece is doped with phosphorus to create an n-type semiconductor. If the intrinsic carrier concentration is 10^10 cm^-3 and the doping concentration is 10^16 cm^-3, calculate the new electron concentration.
💡 Hint: Consider that in n-type doping, the number of electrons mostly comes from the dopants.
A p-n junction diode is constructed with Si. Explain how the junction would behave under both forward and reverse bias conditions, providing the mechanisms behind the current flow.
💡 Hint: Think about the role of the electric field created in each condition.
