$A$ silicon specimen is made into a $P$-type semiconductor by doping,on an average,one Indium atom per $5 \times 10^7$ silicon atoms. If the number density of atoms in the silicon specimen is $5 \times 10^{28} \text{ atoms}/m^3$,then the number of acceptor atoms in silicon per cubic centimetre will be:

The semiconductors are generally

The number of silicon atoms per $m^3$ is $5 \times 10^{28}$. This is doped with $4.5 \times 10^{21}$ atoms $/ m^3$ of Arsenic. The ratio of the number of electrons to the number of holes after doping is (Take $n_i = 1.5 \times 10^{16} / m^3$)

When the conductivity of a semiconductor is only due to the breaking of covalent bonds,the semiconductor is called:

In an extrinsic semiconductor,the number densities of holes and electrons are ${N_p}$ and ${N_e}$ respectively. Then:
