    The document is a homework assignment asking the student to analyze and compare two silicon samples (Samples X and Y) with different electron lifetimes (τX = 1μs and τY = 5μs) when exposed to laser illumination between t = 0 and t = 40 μs. The student is asked to (a) sketch a graph showing how the minority carrier concentration changes over time for each sample, and (b) calculate the photocurrent for each sample when connected to a 2V battery.

    EE-536 MEMS Applications Boğaziçi University

    Prof. Arda D. Yalçınkaya Spring 2020


    Hand-in: April 22nd, 2020 .
    Due: April 29th 2020 HOMEWORK-1

    Question
    You have two n-type rectangular Silicon samples both doped with 5 × 1014 P atoms/cm3 . Samples
    have duplicate device sizes of length L = 800µm, width W = 500µm, and depth (thickness)
    D = 80µm. One sample, labeled X, has an electron lifetime of τX = 1µs whereas the other, labeled
    Y , has an electron lifetime of τY = 5µs.

    a. At time t = 0, a laser beam at λ = 750 nm is switched on to illuminate the surface (L × W )


    of both the samples. The incident laser light intensity on both samples is 10 mW/cm2 . At
    time t = 40 µs, the laser is switched off. Sketch the time evolution of the minority carrier
    concentration for both samples on the same axes.

    b. What is the photocurrent (current due to illumination alone) if each sample is connected to
    a 2 V battery?
