Homework (3) (deadline: 20. April)

1. (10%) Determine the total number (#/cm3) of energy states in silicon between Ec and Ec +
2kT at T = 300 K.
2. (10%) Consider the energy levels shown in the following. Let T = 300 K. If E1 - EF =0.30eV,
determine the probability that an energy state at E = E1 is occupied by an electron and the
probability that an energy state at E = E2 is empty

3. (10%) Calculate the temperature at which there is a 10-8 probability that an energy state 0.60
eV above the Fermi energy level is occupied by an electron
