Ignore surface effects. The sample is unbiased. Optical excitation generates excess carriers in the n-type layer with dp = [p] x 1016 cm-3. Let T = 300 K, Eg = 1.42 eV, mn = 0.067 x m0, mp = 0.48 x m0, where m0 = 9.11 x 10-31 kg. Calculate: a) The intrinsic Fermi level EFi    (2 pts) b) EFn - EFi    (4 pts)                                                  c) EFi - EFp    (4 pts)

THIS CONTENT IS PROTECTED AND MAY NOT BE SHARED, UPLOADED, SOLD, OR DISTRIBUTED Prоblem 5. – 10 Pоints tоtаl A power semiconductor device consists of а region doped with Arsenic аtoms such that the concentration of electrons is n0 = [nd] x 1018 cm-3 and another region doped with Boron atoms such that the concentration of holes is p0 = [na] x 1017 cm-3. The device dissipates power which generates heat, thus heating the silicon crystal to a temperature of T = [T0] °K. Use: m*n = 1.08 m0, m*p = 0.56 m0, Egap = 1.12 eV = Ec with Ev = 0 as the reference, and m0 is the free electron mass = 9.11 x 10-31 kg. Assume Boltzmann statistics applies and work only on the n-type or the p-type region; no need to work on both. For the region you select, do the following:   (a) Find the intrinsic Fermi level EFi                                                             2 pts (b) Find the intrinsic carrier concentration ni = pi                                      2 pts (c) Find EF - Ev                                                                                               2 pts (d) Find Ec - EF                                                                                               2 pts (e) Calculate the respective minority carrier concentrations n0 or p0      2 pts
