Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

An intrinsic semiconductor has an electron concentration of 2 Γ— 10^10 cm⁻³ at room temperature. Calculate the hole concentration and explain your reasoning based on the Mass Action Law.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Ensure you know how to rearrange the Mass Action Law equation.

Question 2

Given that doping a semiconductor with phosphorus increases the electron concentration to 5 Γ— 10^10 cm⁻³, calculate the new hole concentration if ni remains constant at 1 Γ— 10¹⁰ cm⁻³.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use the Mass Action Law and remember how doping changes the distribution of carriers.
