Consider a direct band gap p type semi conductor. The equilibrium
hole density is 10*15/cm*3 and the intrinsic carrier concentration is
10*10/cm*3. the electron and hole diffusion lengths are 4um and 2um
respectively. The left side of the bar(x=0) is uniformly illuminated with a
laser having photon energy greater than the bandgap. Excess electron
hole pairs are generated only at x=O because of the laser. Steady state
electron density is at x=O is 10%12/cm’*3. Ignoring electric field, what is
the steady state electron density at x=4um?

In asemiconductor with electron density n=10*19/cm*3 value of Ec-Efn = 300meV,
where Ec and Efn denote the bottom of the conduction band energy and electron
Fermi level energy, respectively. Assume thermal voltage as 26 meV and the intrinsic
carrier concentration is 10°10/cm’3. For n = 0.25 x 10°19/cm*3 what is the value of
(Ec-Efn)?

Choose the correct statement from the following ;
1. Under low level injection assumption, the injected minority carrier
current for an extrinsic semiconductor is the recombination current
2.The concentration of minority carriers in an extrinsic semiconductor
under equilibrium is inversely proportional to doping concentration
3. Drift current in the semiconductors depends upon the electric field
only
4. Doped semiconductors have a net charge existing on them

An n-type GaAs semiconductor at T = 300 K is uniformly doped at Nd = 5* 10°15 /em*3.
The minority carrier lifetime is t(p0)=5 * 10-8) s. Assume mobility values of up= 7500
cm? /V-s and up =310 cm2 /V-s. A light source is turned on at t= 0 generating excess
carriers uniformly at a rate of g= 4* 10°21 /cm’3 s and turns off at t = 10°(-6) s.
