Question
A semiconductor has equal electron and hole concentration of 2 × 108/m3. On doping with a certain impurity, the hole concentration increases to 4 × 1010/m3.
  1. What type of semiconductor is obtained on doping?
  2. Calculate the new electron and hole concentration of the semiconductor.
  3. How does the energy gap vary with doping?

Answer

Given ne = 2 × 108/m3, nh = 4 × 1010/m3

  1. The majority charge carriers in doped semiconductor are holes, so semiconductor obtained is p-type semiconductor.

$\text{n}_\text{e}\text{n}_h=\text{n}^2_\text{i}$

$\Rightarrow\text{n}_\text{h}=\frac{\text{n}^2_\text{i}}{\text{n}_\text{h}}$

$=\frac{(2\times10^8)^2}{4\times10^{10}}=10^6/\text{m}^3$

  1. New electron concentration = 106/m3

Hole concentration = 4 × 1010/m3

  1. Energy gap decreases on doping.

A traffic policeman sounds a whistle to stop a car-driver approaching towards him. The car-driver does not stop and takes the plea in court that because of the Doppler shift, the frequency of the whistle reaching him might have gone beyond the audible limit of 20kHz and he did not hear it. Experiments showed that the whistle emits a sound with frequency close to 16kHz. Assuming that the claim of the driver is true, how fast was he driving the car? Take the speed of sound in air to be 330m/s. Is this speed practical with today's technology?
