A piece of pure semiconductor of silicn ...

A piece of pure semiconductor of silicn of size `1cm xx 1 cm xx 1 mm` is having `5 xx 10^(28)` number of atoms per cubic metre. It is doped simultaneously with `5 xx 10^(22)` atoms per `m^(3)` of aresenic adn `5 xx 10^(20)` per `m^(3)` atoms of indium. The number density of intrisic current carrier (electrons adn holes) in the pure silicon semiconductor is `1.5 xx 10^(16) m^(-3)`. Mobility of electron is `3800 cm^(2) V^(-)S^(-1)`
Ratio of conductivity of doped silicon and pure silicon semiconductor is

A

`2.2xx10^(6)`

B

`3.3xx10^(6)`

C

`2.2xx10^(8)`

D

`3.3xx10^(8)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Ratio of the conductivity of doped silicon and pure silicon semiconductor is
`(sigmad)/sigma_(i)=n/n_(i)=(4.95xx10^(22))/(1.5xx10^(16))=3.3xx10^(6)`
