If the number of electrons (majority carrier) in a semiconductor is 5 X 1020 m-3 and μe is 0.135 mho, find the resistivity of the semiconductor.
If the number of electrons (majority carrier) in a semiconductor is 5 X 1020 m-3 and μe is 0.135 mho, find the resistivity of the semiconductor. Correct Answer 0.0926 Ωm
We know, Conductivity, σ = ene μe = 5 X 1.6 X 0.135 X 10 mho/m = 10.8 mho/m Resistivity = 1/σ = 0.0926 Ωm.
