Question

A piece of crystalline silicon (Si) is doped uniformly with 4×1016 phosphorus atoms/cm3. For Si, B (material dependent parameter) = 7.3×1015 ??−3?−3/2, ?? (energy bandgap) = 1.12 ??, k (Boltzmann constant) = 8.62×10−5 ??/? or ?=1.38×10−23 ?/?, 1??=1.6×10−19 ?.
a-) What type of material is this?
b-) What are the hole and electron concentrations at room temperature (?=300 ?)?
c-) What are the hole and electron concentrations at 400 ? ?
