Practicing Success
A intrinsic semiconductor has $5\times 10^{28}\, atoms/m^3$. It is doped by 0.01 ppm. concentration of arsenic. If $ni=1.5 \times 10^{16} m^3$, then number of holes in the n-type semiconductor will be |
$5 \times 10^{28}/m^3$ $5 \times 10^{11}/m^3$ $3.0 \times 10^{11}/m^3$ $4.5 \times 10^{11}/m^3$ |
$4.5 \times 10^{11}/m^3$ |
The correct answer is option (4) : $4.5 \times 10^{11}/m^3$ 0.01 atom of Si doped out of $10^6$ atom 1 ppm. In $5\times 10^{28}$ atom number of doped $=\frac{5\times 10^{28}}{\frac{10^6}{0.01}}$ $=5 \times 10^{20}$ 1 as atom creates $1e^{-}$ excess so number of excess electron $=5\times 10^{20}=ne$ also $n_en_h=n^2_1$ $n_h=\frac{n^2_i}{n_e}=\frac{(1.5\times 10^{16})^2}{5\times 10^{20}}$ $=0.45 \times 10^{12}$ $=4.5 \times 10^{11}/m^3$ |
