Electrons in silicon have a mobility of 1000 cm /V-sec. The electric field is applied to make the
electrons reach a velocity of 3 x 10' cm/sec. Assume that the mobility is constant and
independent of the electric field. What voltage is required to obtain this field in a 5 um thick
region? How much time do the electrons need to cross the 5 um thick region?
Copper has a density of 8.96 x 10³ kg/m³ and a resistivity of 1.70 x 10-³ 2-m.
a) On the basis of the classical free-electron gas model, assuming that each Cu atom
contributes one electron to the electron gas, calculate the average time between
collisions of the electrons.
b) Calculate the mean free path from the mean free time and the electron's thermal
velocity.
