Step 1
The intrinsic carrier concentration can be calculated using the equation: ni = sqrt( (Nc * Nv) * exp(-Eg / (2 * kb * T)) ) Where: ni = intrinsic carrier concentration Nc = effective density of states in the conduction band (2.8 x 10^19 cm^-3 for Si) Nv = Show more…

Calculate the intrinsic carrier concentration, ni, at T = 400 K. Assume the bandgap energy of Germanium is 5.32 eV and does not vary over this temperature range. Nc = 1.04 x 10^19 cm^-3 at T = 300 K. N = 6 x 10^18 cm^-3 at T = 300 K.
