Question: ( 1 0 p t s ) G a A s and InSb are intrinsic compound semiconductors. Their properties are given in Table 1 3

(10pts)GaAs and InSb are intrinsic compound semiconductors. Their properties are given in Table 13
Conductivity is defined as:
=n|e|(e+h)=p|e|(e+h)
=ni|e|(e+h)
where n is the number of electrons per cubic meter, p is the number of holes per cubic meter, ni is th intrinsic carrier concentration per cubic meter, e is the electron mobility, h is the hole mobility, and the charge (+-1.610-19C depending upon the charge carrier). Calculate the intrinsic carrier concentrations for both materials at room temperature.
The electrical conductivities of GaAs and InSb are 10-6(*m)-1 and 2104(*m)-1 respectively.
