Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe concentration of minority carriers in an extrinsic semiconductor is given by the law of mass action, according to which:
n.p = ni2
n = concentration of electrons in the conduction band
p = concentration of holes in the valence band
ni = intrinsic carrier concentration
Cases:
In an n-type semiconductor, the minority hole concentration is given by:
\(p = \frac{{n_i^2}}{{{N_D}}}\)
ND = Concentration of Donor impurity
In a p-type semiconductor, the minority electron concentration is given by:
\(n = \frac{{n_i^2}}{{{N_A}}}\)
NA = Concentration of Acceptor impurity
