- A high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) controls large currents by applying a small voltage to a thin sheet of electrons. The density and mobility of the electrons in the sheet are critical for the operation of the HEMT. HEMTS consisting of AlGaN/GaN/Si are being studied because they promise better performance at higher powers, temperatures, and frequencies than conventional silicon HEMTS can achieve. In one study, the Hall effect was used to measure the density of electrons in one of these new HEMTs. When a current of 12.1 ?A flows through the length of the electron sheet, which is 1.12 mm long, 0.223 mm wide, and 15.1 nm thick, a magnetic field of 1.05 T perpendicular to the sheet produces a voltage of 0.511 mV across the width of the sheet. What is the density of electrons per m3 in the sheet?arrow_forwardThe bond length in the BrF molecule is 178 pm and the measured dipole moment is 1.29 D (debyes).

- In a Si semiconductor sample of 200 am length at 600 K the hole concentration as a' function of the sample length follows a quadratic relation of the form p (x) = 1 x1015x, at equilibrium the value of the electric field at 160 jum will be: O 1.935 V/cm O 3.250 V/cm O 5805 V/cm O 55.56 V/cm O 6.450 V/cmarrow_forwardWhen a photon enters the depletion zone of a p-n junction, the photon can scatter from the valence electrons there, transferring part of its energy to each electron, which then jumps to the conduction band. Thus, the photon creates electron–hole pairs. For this reason, the junctions are often used as light detectors, especially in the x-ray and gamma-ray regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Suppose a single 662 keV gamma-ray photon transfers its energy to electrons in multiple scattering events inside a semiconductor with an energy gap of 1.1 eV, until all the energy is transferred. Assuming that each electron jumps the gap from the top of the valence band to the bottom of the conduction band, find the number of electron – hole pairs created by the process.arrow_forwardThe gap between valence and conduction bands in diamond is 5.47 eV.What is the maximum wavelength of a photon that can excite an electron from the top of the valence band into the conduction band?
