Given the effective masses of electrons and holes in silicon, germanium, and gallium arsenide, calculate the position of the intrinsic Fermi energy level with respect to the center of the bandgap for each semiconductor at $T=300 \mathrm{~K}$.
The effective mass of electrons at the lower conduction band edge of a semiconductor is three times higher than that of holes at the upper valence band edge. How far is the Fermi level located from the middle of the forbidden energy gap, assuming that the semiconductor is intrinsic? Explain why $E_{\mathrm{g}}$ should be greater than $8 k_{\mathrm{B}} T$ for your calculation.
