Consider a silicon wafer having Nc=2.8*10^19cm^-3 and the Fermi energy is .25eV below the conduction band. Calculate the equilibrium concentrations of electrons at T=300K?
(a) 18*10^16cm^-3
(b) 1.8*10^16cm^-3
(c) 1.8*10^14cm^-3
(d) 180*10^16cm^-3
The question was asked during an interview for a job.
My question is based upon Charge Densities in a Semiconductor impurities topic in section Conduction in Semiconductors of Electronic Devices & Circuits
