A silicon specimen is made into a P-type...

A silicon specimen is made into a `P`-type semiconductor by dopping, on an average, one helium atoms per `5xx10^(7)` silicon atoms. If the number density of atoms in the silicon specimen is `5xx10^(28) at om//m^(3)` then the number of acceptor atoms in silicon per cubic centimeter will be

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The doping of one indium atom in silicon semiconductor will produce one acceptor atom in p-type semiconductor. Since one indium atom has been dopped per `5xx10^(7)` silicon atoms, so number density of acceptor atoms in silicon
`=("no. density of Si atoms")/("doping fraction of impurity atoms")`
`= (5xx10^(28))/(5xx10^(7))=10^(21) "atoms"//m^(3)`
`10^(21)xx10^(-6) "atoms"//cm^(3)`
`1xx10^(15) "atoms"//cm^(3)`
