Question: 4 . We inject electrons into a p - type semiconductor 5 microns long such that the concentration varies linearly from 1 0 2 0

4. We inject electrons into a p-type semiconductor 5 microns long such that the concentration
varies linearly from 1020 cm-3 to zero from left to right. If the mobility of the electrons is 500 cm2/V-
s, what is the current density if the electric fields are negligible?
5. We shine 1017 photons/cm2/s which are all absorbed near the surface x=0 of a p-type
semiconductor, raising the temperature of the sample to 500K. If the minority carrier lifetime is
200 ns in this material, electron mobility is 2000 cm2/V-s, hole mobility is 500 cm2/V-s, calculate
the electron diffusion current density 20 microns from the surface.
