If a semiconductor has an intrinsic carrier concentration of $1.41 × 10^{16} m^{–3}$, when doped with $10^{21} m^{–3}$ phosphorus, then the concentration of holes at room temperature will be – |
$2 × 10^{21}$ $2 × 10^{11}$ $1.41 × 10^{10}$ $1.41 × 10^{16}$ |
$1.41 × 10^{16}$ |
Phosphorus is pentavalent impurity. Its doping will not effect the concentration of holes. So number of holes will be equal to same as in intrinsic semiconductor. So $n_h= 1.41 × 10^{16} m^{–3}$ |
