Calculate the electrical conductivity of this material


1. Germanium to which 1024  m-3 As atoms have been added is an extrinsic semiconductor at room  temperature, and  virtually  all  the As atoms  may  be  thought  of  as  being  ionized (i.e.,  one  charge  carrier  exists  for  each  As atom). 

(a) Is this material n-type or p-type?

(b) Calculate the electrical conductivity of this material, assuming electron and hole mo- bilities of 0.1 and 0.05 m2/V-s,  respectively.

2. The following electrical characteristics have been determined for both intrinsic and p-type extrinsic gallium antimonide (GaSb) at room temperature:

An electron concentration of 5 x 1017  m-3. If the electron drift velocity is 350 m/s in an electric field of 1000 V/m, calculate the con- ductivity  of  this material.
