a. Consider the conductivity of a semiconductor, a=qnun+qpHp. Will doping always increase conductivity? b. Show that the minimum conductivity for Si is obtained when it is p-type doped such that the hole concentration is Pm = n₁ Un Up and the minimum conductivity (maximum resistivity) is Omin = 2qn₁√√HnHp c. Calculate Pm and amin and compare them with intrinsic values. a. Consider the conductivity of a semiconductor, a=qnun+qpHp. Will doping always increase conductivity? b.
