Question: Consider an n - type semiconductor with ND = 1 0 1 5 cm 3 ND = 1 0 1 5 cm 3 . There

Consider an n-type semiconductor with ND=1015cm3ND=1015cm3. There is a uniform applied electric field, E=105V/cmE=105V/cm, throughout the semiconductor. At t=0t=0, the semiconductor was illuminated by a sharply focused pulse of laser to create an excess hole concentration of p(t=0)=1012cm3p(t=0)=1012cm3 at x=0x=0.
Find the expression for the excess hole concentration, p(x,t)p(x,t), as a function of xx and tt for t>0t>0, i.e. after the laser pulse is gone. Write your expression in terms of applied electric field EE, generation rate GG, minority carrier lifetime (tau), diffusion coefficient DD and mobility (mu). Your equation does not have to contain all of these variables.
