1.Silicon is a single-crystal material with no other type of atoms within the material. Given the coefficient of Si material, bandgap energy and Boltzmann constant are 5.23 x 1015 cm-³K-3/2, 1.1 eV and 86 × 10-6 eV/K respectively. i. Calculate the intrinsic carrier concentration of silicon at 350 K.  ii. The silicon is doped with 5.23 x 1016 cm-³ of arsenic atom. Calculate the electron and hole concentration of the doped silicon at 350 K. Explain the importance of the doping process in semiconductor.
