A Ge specimen is doped with Al. The concentration of acceptor atoms is 10^(21)"atoms/m"^(3). Given that the intrinsic concentration of electronhole pairs is 10^(19)//m^(3), the concentrationof electrons in the specimen is …….

Answer»

`10^(17)//m^(3)`
`10^(15)//m^(3)`
`10^(4)//m^(3)`
`10^(2)//m^(3)`

Solution :`10^(17)//m^(3)`
For p-type semiconductor `n_(h)~~ N_(A)`
where `N_(A)` is the concentration of acceptor atoms. Also `n_(h)n_(e )=n_(i)^(2)` where `n_(h)=` concentration of holes `=10^(21) "atom/m"^(3)`
`n_(i)=` CONCENTRATIONOF electron-pair `=10^(19)"atom/m"^(3)`
`n_(e )=` concentration of electron,
`THEREFORE n_(e )=(n_(i)^(2))/(n_(h))=((10^(19))^(2))/(10^(21))=10^(17)"atoms/m"^(3)`
