List the type (holes, electrons, ions), sign (+/-) and concentrations of all charges in silicon
doped with1017/cm3 As and 1015/cm3 Boron. Be sure to mention whether each charge is mobile or
not.
Problem 6 What are the four types of currents you can find across a p-n junction in thermal
equilibrium?
Problem 7 You are given doped silicon that at thermal equilibrium has an electron
concentration 1016/cm3. What is the built-in potential with reference to intrinsic silicon?
