Question: A silicon sample is doped with 1 0 1 5 donors / cm 3 and has a hole - lifetime of 0 . 5 s

A silicon sample is doped with 1015 donors/cm3 and has a hole-lifetime of 0.5 s.
Assuming all the donors to be ionized, determine:
(a) the photo generation rate, which will produce 4x1014 excess EHP in steady state.
(b) the sample resistivity before and after illumination and the percentage of conductivity due to
minority carriers. Assume n=3p =1200 cm2/Vs, T =300 K.
(c) how far are the electron and hole populations from their equilibrium values while under
illumination?
