Question:

Pure silicon at 300 K has equal electron and equal hole concentration of 1.5 x \( {10 }^{16  } \) \( { m}^{ -3} \) doping by indium increases the hole concentration to 4.5 x \( { 10}^{22 } \) \( { m}^{ -3} \). Then the electron concentration in doped silicon is (in \( { 10}^{ -3} \))

Options:

9 x \( { 10}^{ 5} \)

5  x \( { 10}^{ 9} \)

2.25 x \( { 10}^{ 11} \)

3 x \( { 10}^{ 19} \)

Correct Answer:

5  x \( { 10}^{ 9} \)

Explanation:

ne x nh = ni2

n= 1.5 x \( {10 }^{16  } \) \( { m}^{ -3} \)

nh = 4.5 x \( { 10}^{22 } \) \( { m}^{ -3} \)
