Question: 3 . [ 1 0 points each for ( a ) - ( b ) , 5 points for ( c ) ; total 2

3.[10 points each for (a)-(b),5 points for (c); total 25 point] Consider a silicon bar that is doped a non-uniform distribution of phosphorus atoms given by ()=0/0 where 0=1016 cm3 and 0=0.1 cm. The semiconductor is subjected to an electric field =5 V/cm along the x-direction. Assume =1000 cm2/V s,=500 cm2/Vs, and the temperature is 300 K.(a) Derive an expression for the electron current density () as a function of position x, accounting for both drift and diffusion components. (b) Determine the total average current I through the semiconductor if the semiconductor has a cross sectional area of =0.01 cm2 and the length of the semiconductor L is 0.2 cm.(c) Discuss qualitatively how the non-uniform doping profile affects the electric field distribution within the semiconductor and how this might affect the accuracy of the drift-diffusion model.
