    In semiconductor the concentrations of electrons and holes are \[8\,\,\times \,\,{{10}^{18}}/\,{{m}^{3}}\] and \[5\,\,\times \,\,{{10}^{18}}/\,m\] respectively. If the mobilities of electrons and hole are \[2.3\text{ }{{m}^{2}}/volt-sec\] and \[0.01\text{ }{{m}^{2}}/volt-sec\] respectively, then semiconductor is

    A) N-type and its resistivity is 0.34 ohm-metre

    B) P-type and its resistivity is 0.034 ohm-metre

    C) N-type and its resistivity is 0.034 ohm-metre

    D) P-type and its resistivity is 3.40 ohm-metre

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[{{n}_{e}}\,=\,\,8\times 1{{0}^{18}}/{{m}^{3}},\,\,{{n}_{h}}=5\times 1{{0}^{18}}/{{m}^{3}},\] \[{{\mu }_{e}}=2.3\frac{{{m}^{2}}}{volt-\sec },\,\,\,{{\mu }_{h}}=0.01\frac{{{m}^{2}}}{volt-\sec }\] \[\because \,\,\,{{n}_{e}}>{{n}_{h}}\,\,\] so semiconductor is N-type Also conductivity \[\sigma =\frac{1}{\operatorname{Re}sistivity\,(\rho )}\,\,=\,\,e({{n}_{e}}{{\mu }_{e}}+{{n}_{h}}{{\mu }_{h}})\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\frac{1}{\rho }=1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}\,\left[ \begin{matrix}    8\times {{10}^{18}}\times 2.3  \\    \,\,\,\,\,+5\times {{10}^{18}}\times 0.01  \\ \end{matrix} \right]\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\, \rho  = 0.34 \Omega -m.\]
