7. Estimate the temperature at which InSb has an electrical conductivity of 3 X 10' (1-m)', assuming the temperature dependence of conductivity has the form o= CT32 exp where k is Boltzmann's constant and is a materials constant. The data in Table 12.2 may prove helpful in determining C for InSb. You may assume that room temperature is approximately 20 C.
