Question: [ 4 ] Resistivity in the range 1 0 - 2 to 1 0 2 cm is required for an electronic devices and circuits; this

[4] Resistivity in the range 10-2 to 102cm is required for an electronic devices and circuits; this can be achieved by adding a controlled impurity to produce electronic imperfections. These are extrinsic semiconductors. Note that the atomic concentration of Si is 5x1022/cm3. Intrinsic carrier concentration in Si is 1.0x1010/cm3. The electron and hole mobilities for this material are 0.14 and 0.05 m2/Vs, respectively. (a) Calculate the resistance value of a pure (intrinsic) Si with a volume of 1 cm3.(b) Find the resistance value when the Si crystal is doped with one atom of arsenic (As) in 109 Si atoms. (c) Find the resistance value when the Si crystal is doped with one atom of boron (B) in 109 Si atoms. (d) Describe your opinions from the solutions obtained in (a)-(c).
