This
is
a
closed
book
exam.
You
may
use
a
calculator
and
the
formula
sheet
at
the
end
of
this
exam.
Following
the
ECE
policy,
the
calculator
must
be
a
Texas
Instruments
TI-‐30X
IIS
scientific
calculator.
There
are
three
equally
weighted
questions.
To
receive
full
credit,
you
must
show
your
work
and
explain
your
answers.
The
exam
is
designed
to
be
taken
in
60
minutes.
At
the
top
of
the
page,
be
sure
to
fill
in
your
name,
Purdue
student
ID
and
identify
the
section
you
are
in.
DO
NOT
open
the
exam
until
told
to
do
so,
and
stop
working
immediately
when
time
is
called.
The
last
page
is
an
equation
sheet,
which
you
may
remove
if
you
want
to,
after
the
exam
begins.

2a)
Is
the
semiconductor
N
or
P-‐type
at
position
x1 ?
Solution:
N-‐type
(because
the
Fermi
level
is
near
the
conduction
band).
2b)
What
is
the
kinetic
energy
of
the
red
electron
at
location
x2 ?
Solution:
KE
=
0
eV
(because
the
electron
is
at
the
bottom
of
the
conduction
band)
2c)
What
is
the
bandgap
of
the
semiconductor?
Solution:
EG = EC − EV = 1.1− (−0.2) = 1.3eV
EG = 1.3eV
