A silicon sample is doped with Nd = 1017cm–3 of As atoms.
a) What are the electron and hole concentrations and the Fermi level position (relative to Ec or
Ev) at 300 K? (Assume full ionization of impurities.)
b) Check the full ionization assumption using the calculated Fermi level, (i.e., find the probability
of donor states being occupied by electrons and therefore not ionized.) Assume that the
donor level lies 50 meV below the conduction band, (i.e., Ec – ED = 50 meV.)
