QUESTIONS 1
Problem 1 A Si p-n junction has the following properties:

p-side n-side

NA=1017 cm-3 σn=2.16 S/cm

τn=0.1 μs τp=10 μs

μp=200 cm2/V.s μn=1350 cm2/V.s

μn=700 cm2/V.s μp=450 cm2/V.s

lp=10 μm ln=10 μm

EG=1.12 eV; A=10-4 cm2; ni=1010 cm-3; εr=11.8, T=300 K.

Under equilibrium, draw the energy band diagram of the p-n junction and show the Fermi energy
levels with respect to the half of the bandgap. Calculate potential barrier.

Problem 2 Find the variation of the electron and hole concentrations in Si and Ge
semiconductor materials with the temperature when temperature rises from i) 0 K to ii) 300 K
and iii) 400 K respectively. Assume donar doping concentration is:

a) 1013 cm-3 for each material

b) 1015 cm-3 for each material

Problem 4

Problem 5
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?

Problem 8 What happens to ni if the temperature increases? Give a brief qualitative


explanation.

Problem 9 What is the concentration of holes, electrons and positive/gnegative ions if Si is


doped with 1017 Boron atoms/cm3, and 1019 As atoms/cm3 at room temperature? (ni = 1010)

Problem 10 A piece of silicon is doped with Na = 2x1015 cm-3 and Nd = 1x1015 cm-3
a) What is the majority carrier? Is the silicon type n or type p?
b) Find the electron and hole concentration and mobility at room temperature.
c) We want increase the electron concentration to 1x1017 cm-3. What is the
additional dopant type and concentration?
