The concentration of electrons in an intrinsic semiconductor is $6 \times 10^{15} \,m^{-3}$. On doping with an impurity, the electron concentration increases to $4 \times 10^{22} \,m^{-3}$. In thermal equilibrium, the concentration of the holes in the doped semiconductor is:

  • A
    $18 \times 10^{-8} \,m^{-3}$
  • B
    $1.5 \times 10^{-7} \,m^{-3}$
  • C
    $9 \times 10^8 \,m^{-3}$
  • D
    $\frac{2}{3} \times 10^7 \,m^{-3}$

In an intrinsic semiconductor,the energy gap $E_{g}$ is $1.2 \; eV$. Its hole mobility is much smaller than electron mobility and independent of temperature. What is the ratio between conductivity at $600 \; K$ and that at $300 \; K$? Assume that the temperature dependence of intrinsic carrier concentration $n_{i}$ is given by $n_{i} = n_{0} \exp \left(-\frac{E_{g}}{2 k_{B} T}\right)$,where $n_{0}$ is a constant.
