Q1:

Calculate the resistivity of n-type semiconductor from the following data, Density of holes = 5 x 1012 cm-3. Density of electrons = 8 x 1013 cm-3, mobility of conduction electron = 2.3 x 104 cm2/ V-sec and mobility of holes = 100 cm2/V-sec

A 0.43 Ω-m

B 0.34 Ω-m

C 0.42 Ω-m

D 0.24 Ω-m

ANS:B - 0.34 Ω-m

Resistivity(r) = . σ = e(neue + nnun).
