    The concentration of hole-electron pairs in pure Silicon at T = 300 K is \[7\times {{10}^{15}}{{m}^{-}}^{3}\]. Antimony is doped into Silicon in a proportion of 1 atom in \[{{10}^{7}}Si\]atoms. Assuming that half of the impurity atoms contribute electron in the conduction band, calculate the factor by which the number of charge carriers increases due to doping of \[5\times {{10}^{28}}{{m}^{-3}}\]of Si atoms.

    A)  \[1.8\times {{10}^{5}}\]       

    B)  \[5.8\times {{10}^{5}}\]

    C)  \[6.8\times {{10}^{5}}\]       

    D)   \[8.8\times {{10}^{5}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] : In pure semiconductor electron-hole pair \[=7\times {{10}^{15}}{{m}^{-3}}\] Initially total charge carrier\[{{n}_{initial}}={{n}_{h}}+{{n}_{e}}\] \[=14\times {{10}^{15}}\] After doping donor impurity \[{{N}_{D}}=\frac{5\times {{10}^{28}}}{{{10}^{7}}}=5\times {{10}^{21}}\]and\[{{n}_{e}}=\frac{{{N}_{D}}}{2}=2.5\times {{10}^{21}}\] So,\[{{n}_{final}}={{n}_{h}}+{{n}_{e}}\Rightarrow {{n}_{final}}\approx {{n}_{e}}\approx 2.5\times {{10}^{21}}\] \[(\because {{n}_{e}}>>{{n}_{h}})\] \[Factor=\frac{{{n}_{final}}-{{n}_{initial}}}{{{n}_{initial}}}=\frac{2.5\times {{10}^{21}}-14\times {{10}^{15}}}{14\times {{10}^{15}}}\] \[\approx \frac{2.5\times {{10}^{21}}}{14\times {{10}^{15}}}=1.8\times {{10}^{5}}\]
